What now for Rohl's Rangers as title hopes fade?
The youthfulness and inexperience of Rangers' squad perhaps accounts for some of their inconsistency. Against Motherwell, Rangers were outplayed in the first half and trailed 2-0. They improved markedly in the second half and battled back to level only for Well to score again.
In the previous game, Rangers also conceded two first-half goals but eventually ran out 6-3 winners at Falkirk.

In the previous game, Rangers also conceded two first-half goals but eventually ran out 6-3 winners at Falkirk. They also had to recover from two down to draw with Livingston and were 2-0 up on Celtic after an impressive first half but ultimately drew 2-2. Those Celtic, Motherwell and Hearts games in particular have undone the progress made previously under Rohl this term.
A total of 12 league draws has not helped either. Rangers had lost just twice in 33 games before the split, and have now lost consecutive games at the most crucial stage of the campaign.
