Rangers ready for must-win Hearts game - Rohl

[SNS] Danny Rohl says Rangers team will be ready for the maelstrom when his team visit Tynecastle to play Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts in a must-win contest on Monday evening. "The atmosphere will be on fire," he said. "They fight for something, they play for a historical season and they go all-in, but we will also be ready for this, we go there and we'll be ready to fight.

" Rohl, 37, only has one experience of how tumultuous Tynecastle can be when the home fans have the bit between their teeth - a 2-1 defeat in December - but he has a decent idea on what might go down on Monday. Realistically, Rangers have to win. If they lose they will fall seven points behind Hearts with three games to go.

And Rohl is not hiding away from the hopelessness of that situation should it arise, with Hearts seeking their first top-flight title in 66 years. "It will be, in some phases of the game, not the nicest one because there will be a lot of 50-50 duels and it is important that everyone on the pitch makes good decisions in both directions," he said. "It's crucial that we have the focus to bring our best football.

We like to play from a hunter position and now we want to hunt, we want to close the gap again. "We dropped from one point [behind] to four points [behind] - we closed to three, to four, to one and we have four games to go and we can close it again. It's exciting for everyone and we are ready.
