"Starting brightly, with some success - see wins over Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen. A quick collapse - see the 6-0 humiliation by Club Brugge in their Champions League play-off second leg. Then a disappointing second half - see an underwhelming Europa League campaign. Just one win in the league phase this season - coming last week against Ludogorets - and it all came far too late. By that point, they were effectively out already."
""I'm now fully focused on the league," Rohl told the media just a few minutes after the final ball had been kicked in Portugal. "We have a mission and for this, we have all our energy now." "We are now fully focused on 15 match days in the league and it helps us to have two normal weeks," Rohl added. "It's the first time we can really train and can be fresh.""
Rangers' 3-1 defeat in Porto closed a European campaign that began with promising wins over Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen but fell apart after a 6-0 loss to Club Brugge. The Europa League campaign proved underwhelming, producing only one league-phase win against Ludogorets, which arrived too late to advance. Danny Rohl's side have recovered domestically, winning seven consecutive matches, and now shift full attention to the league. The next two-and-a-half weeks feature crucial tests including Hibs, Motherwell and Hearts, plus Scottish Cup ties against Kilmarnock and Queen's Park. Rohl emphasizes training time, freshness and successful squad rotation.
