Rohl won't watch title rivals as Rangers take top spot
Rangers head coach Danny Rohl was satisfied as his team went top of the Scottish Premiership for the first time this season - just don't expect him to follow the Hearts and Celtic games on Sunday. The 4-2 win over Dundee United at Ibrox marked the first time for two years Rangers have climbed to the top of the league. It also eclipsed the 13-point gap Rangers had to make up on Hearts when Rohl replaced Russell Martin in October.
They only lead on goal difference and will cede top spot if Hearts, who had led since September, avoid defeat at bottom side Livingston on Sunday. "I will do the same as the last matchday," the Rangers boss said. "I put my phone off, no ticker [on the bottom of the screen], no live score.
Last time, I got a message from my assistant coach saying 'did you see the result [Celtic's loss to Dundee United]? '. "I said 'no, what happened?
' He said 'great result'. So I will do exactly the same and maybe three times in a row it will happen. "Let's see - but I'm not available this time on Sunday.
" Rohl was able to enjoy his side scoring four goals for the second game in a row at Ibrox, with some influential performances in attack. As the German said after the match, if Rangers win six games they win the league. The question is whether the performances suggest they are capable of doing that given the opposition only gets tougher.
