Rangers head coach Danny Röhl has framed the remainder of the Scottish Premiership season as 'nine cup finals' for his team as they chase leaders Hearts. The Ibrox club sits third in the table, six points behind Hearts and one point adrift of Celtic, with a critical match against St Mirren coming up live on Sky Sports. This urgency follows back-to-back disappointments against Celtic, including a 2-0 lead collapse in the league and a penalty shootout loss in the Scottish Cup despite Rangers dominating without allowing a single shot on target.

Röhl acknowledges his team's improvement since arriving in Glasgow but notes they've won just one of their last five matches and haven't secured an away victory since January 11 against Aberdeen. The German coach emphasized that the time for building and organization has passed - now it's about results. 'It's all about winning, winning games, and taking the three points because this is the only chance to reduce the gap in the title race,' Röhl stated, highlighting the ruthless efficiency required in these final matches.

Despite the psychological blows from recent Old Firm defeats, Röhl insists his players remain focused rather than fearful. The St Mirren match presents additional intrigue as they'll face an interim management team following Stephen Robinson's departure to Aberdeen. For Rangers, these final nine games represent their last opportunity to mount a serious title challenge and prove they've overcome the late-season collapses that have derailed previous campaigns.
