Danny Rohl has explained his strange decision to make a triple half-time substitution with Rangers in control and leading Dundee 2-0 at the time - admitting it was purely down to wanting fresh legs on the pitch. Early first-half goals from Nicolas Raskin and Mikey Moore has the Light Blues cruising to victory before the German head coach decided to ring the changes at the interval. He opted to take off Danilo, Bojan Miovski and Mohamed Diomande at the break, replacing them with Thelo Aasgaard, Youssef Chermiti and Connor Barron despite their advantage. Asked on Sky Sports if there was any reason for making the alterations other than fresh legs, Rohl replied: “No, was for me fresh in energy. I think this is job sharing. My team will learn this. “Yeah, this is for me really about that I will use my my subs. I will use my squad and this is also good for the players because then they know even they are not the starter, they have always a chance to get minimum 45 minutes.

Yeah, I think I see how big this club is, which potential we have and from this point we carry on.” Rohl feels his side are beginning to take “steps forward” in the Scottish Premiership after making it three successive victories in a row thanks to a 3-0 win at Dens Park, with Djeidi Gassama added curling home a sumptuous effort from just inside the box to seal maximum points in stoppage time. It now means Rangers cut the gaps to 12 points behind leaders Hearts, with a game in hand, as Rohl urged his players to continue their revival after the international break. “Yeah, first, I think a clean sheet, three goals scored away is always good,” he declared. “I think in the second half sometimes we lost a little bit of control, this is what I want to see in the future, that we control this game some more. “But all in all, I think the last three performances, especially in the league, is good, we scored seven goals, two times a clean sheet away. I think this is a good direction, we spoke about the small steps, I think in the league we made good steps forward, and now it's about recovering. “I see a lot of things that go in the right direction, I see a lot of things that we have to improve. I like to see individual players growing up more and more, and yeah, all in all we should be happy at the moment.” Rohl admitted he will now take some time to evaluate the squad he inherited from previous boss Russell martin over the next fortnight before they return to action against Livingston on November 22nd. He explained: “With my coaches we put a lot of things together, details about the players. We spoke about weaknesses, but a lot of potential things, we look at strength, and then of course it's also about the players having to deliver. "I think this is also crucial, they know this, they want to show it, I think I see all the players try, this is first the basics, they put a lot of effort in, and then we have to be smart in the next steps, but this is not today's topic.” Your next read: Dundee 0-3 Rangers - Player ratings + talking points as 8/10 Tottenham loanee stars amid signs of progress
