Why It's Important?
The defeat underscores the significant challenges facing Danny Röhl as he attempts to revitalize a struggling Rangers team. With the club's Europa League prospects looking bleak, the pressure is on Röhl to address the team's defensive frailties and improve their performance. The loss also highlights the broader issues within the team, including a lack of confidence and cohesion. For Rangers fans, the continued poor performance is a source of frustration, as the team has yet to secure a league win at home this season.

However, with the team yet to win a league game at home this season, the pressure remains high. Röhl will need to work quickly to find solutions to the team's defensive issues and boost player morale. The upcoming matches will be crucial in determining the trajectory of Rangers' season and Röhl's tenure as head coach.
