Rohl on '100%' staying, owners backing and title disappointment

[ASFN Admin]

Danny Rohl has been speaking to the media before Rangers visit rivals Celtic in the Premiership on Sunday.

Here are the key points:

• The title now seems beyond Rangers, who lie seven points behind leaders Hearts with three games to go, leading to questions over Rohl's future - but the German is "100% convinced" he will still be at the club next season.
• He adds: "We want the titles and for this, we have to change things. A process without a winning of titles is not enough for our club and in this direction we move forward. I'm really motivated and really ambitious for the new season."
• When asked if he feels he has the backing of Rangers' owners he says: "Fully, fully committed. I feel it every day, the support. We spoke so much about what we want to change for the summer and I feel that I'm in the right place with the right people, with a lot of motivation, positive energy to bring this club, not just to a one-hit wonder, back to consistently a club who can win titles in a row."
• On links to a return to manage in Germany he adds: "There's a lot of rumours. I think I look back last year with how many clubs I was linked. I could get maybe 20 jobs there in the newspaper but generally, my full focus is on Rangers.
• On the damaging post-split losses to Motherwell and Hearts he says: "We knew that these two defeats hurts really after maybe a hopeless season in October where nobody thought we can win something and then you come so close. I think everyone was totally convinced we have a big, big chance [of winning the league]. This is also a part now why the disappointment is so hard and so tough to accept."
• Rohl was clear the motivation to potentially stop Celtic's title challenge is not in Rangers' minds and says: "For this game you don't need motivation."
• On criticism that he and his squad failed to adapt to Hearts' change in tactics after half-time in the 2-1 loss at Tynecastle, the German suggests his players weren't active enough: "If you don't move an opponent who is man-marking, you will still not find the right solutions. I think this is a part what we have to do better to understand. If we stop to move, we can change four shapes. It will not influence the outcome."
• He responded to questions about a lack of Scottish players against Hearts by saying: "I think for me not about Scottish players or not. I think it's about to have the right players."
