Danny Rohl wants to add players in the January transfer who understand what it means to play for Rangers.
The Light Blues failed to make it five league wins in a row after drawing with Falkirk at the weekend.
It’s been a chaotic couple of months for the Ibrox club as they sacked former head coach Russell Martin, chief executive Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell.
Oliver Antman is going to be out for eight weeks with an abductor problem and Nasser Djiga and Ousmane Diomande are expected to feature in the Africa Cup of Nations later this month.
Before the Gers’ away fixture against Dundee United tomorrow, Rohl confirmed that he’s having regular discussions with chairman Andrew Cavenagh:
“In general, I’m in a conversation with Andrew nearly every two or three days.
“I think this is crucial. He will be also in, in the next couple of days, so we will have the next meetings.
“I give my feedback every day or every matchday back to him. What I see is not just about positions, also what is important for us as a group – which profiles we need.
“From the skills, from the tools, from a specialist in some areas, I think this is crucial.
“It’s not just about the physical speed, it’s also the mindset, how quick is the mind at the moment, how quick you can receive the ball, how quick you can accelerate our game.
“I think we need players that have a natural aggressivity against the ball, this is also crucial for me.
“And we need players that also understand what it means to play for Rangers. This is also what I feel and learn in the last weeks, which players can handle this environment and which players have to improve.
“We have to make the right decisions. This is crucial. We have a big responsibility for us, for the club.
“I have a big responsibility now, after we lost Kevin and Patrick. I think this gives me more influence.
“Hopefully we make a good step forward. The key is that we are on one page, that it is very clear how we see things and now it’s about preparing everything and have a good shot at the target.”
The 36-year-old was asked if players will need to leave before some are brought in. He said:
“You need a squad that is not too big but big enough so you can double up positions with good competition. I think this is crucial.
“If I say now (we’re signing) five and bring four in, then you will ask me, why just four?
“Key is that you bring the right players. If it’s at the end, two or three who can really make an impact, then it’s a good step.
“If it’s six, because we could get six out, then it’s also good.
“But for me, it’s more about the quality of players instead of the numbers of players.”
