Rangers produced a fierce comeback to beat Falkirk 6-3, turning a two-goal deficit into a dominant win and staying close to Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts. Danny Rohl highlighted the display as a clear sign of Rangers’ belief, resilience and attacking style during a tense title race that has offered little room for dropped points.
The result continued a strong league sequence for Rangers, who had already beaten Aberdeen 4-1 and Dundee United 4-2 before this match, as well as edging St. Mirren last month. Those four straight Premiership wins have tightened the pressure on Hearts, with Rangers now only one point behind after scoring 14 league goals across the last three fixtures.
Falkirk struck first at Falkirk Stadium, punishing Rangers’ slow
start. Ben Broggio opened the scoring before Finn Yeats added a second, leaving Rohl’s side 2-0 down inside 26 minutes. Rangers were struggling with the conditions and tempo before a controversial incident late in the first half changed the direction of the contest.
Three minutes before the interval, Tochi Chukwuani finished from close range after Falkirk protested that the cross had already gone out of play. The goal stood and gave Rangers belief. Soon after half-time, Youssef Chermiti equalised, then Nico Raskin put Rangers 3-2 up before assisting substitute Bojan Miovski’s first goal.
Calvin Miller’s penalty for Falkirk cut Rangers’ lead to 4-3, but Chermiti struck again to restore a two-goal cushion. Miovski then completed the scoring with Rangers’ sixth in the 88th minute. That late goal underlined Rangers’ control by the final stages, despite the early shock of trailing by two goals.
Speaking after the match, Rohl underlined how Rangers adjusted and then dominated. Rohl said: "I'm proud of the outcome. The start was very difficult, not what we want. We needed to adapt to the conditions, the Rangers boss said. The reaction from my group was crucial, to score to make it 2-1 before half-time. The second half was just one direction. We played forward, created a lot of chances. "
The performance also extended a notable scoring run that matched Rohl’s stated approach. Rohl said: "Three games in a row, with 14 goals, shows how we want to play. It's a consequence of the last few months and weeks. I try to give my team calmness and belief," Rohl added. That mindset has aligned with Rangers’ recent attacking numbers and forward-thinking set-up.
Rohl felt the comeback also depended on the group’s internal standards during the break. Rohl said: "I showed them solutions, but it's about my players;they delivered today," Rohl continued. "They were very honest to each other at half-time. My group has quality, spirit, belief and mentality to go until the end. " Those comments reflected the importance of dressing-room discussions as much as tactical shifts.
The match, part of a rare weekend when all of the Premiership’s top three won, carried further tension when Miller almost struck again. After scoring his penalty, Miller went close to another goal within two minutes, following James Tavernier’s foul on Filip Lissah that led to the spot-kick. That narrow escape kept Rangers in front before the late surge settled the scoreline.
Rangers’ 6-3 victory, confirmed in front of travelling support at Falkirk Stadium, therefore strengthened both league position and belief inside the squad. The comeback, the recent scoring form and Rohl’s emphasis on mentality leave Rangers firmly in the title conversation as the run of high-pressure Premiership fixtures continues.
