The goals were shared among four players, underlining the team’s attacking depth. T. Chukwuani opened the scoring in the 35th minute with a composed finish.
Mikey Moore extended the lead early in the second half, before Nicolas Raskin added a third in the 62nd minute.
Captain James Tavernier sealed the victory with a well-taken free-kick in stoppage time.

He also highlighted the importance of squad depth, with strong competition among players helping to maintain high standards across the team.
Rohl also addressed a controversial disallowed goal, acknowledging the frustration among supporters but emphasizing a pragmatic approach.
He noted that referees make decisions in real time and reiterated that the team must remain focused on controlling its own performances rather than external factors.
A key highlight of the evening was the performance of 18-year-old Mikey Moore. The Tottenham Hotspur loanee has shown significant progress in recent weeks, delivering another impactful display marked by confidence and attacking intent.

Tactically, Rangers demonstrated further development. Adjustments in midfield, including the introduction of Thelo Aasgaard, improved control and balance, while substitutions ensured sustained intensity. The team’s pressing, transitions, and efficiency in front of goal reflected growing cohesion and confidence.
In the wider league context, the victory keeps Rangers firmly in contention, narrowing the gap to Hearts while moving ahead of Celtic. Aberdeen, under Stephen Robinson, showed limited threat and remain under pressure near the lower end of the table.
Rohl concluded with a clear message: the remaining fixtures will be decisive. With seven matches left, each game carries significant weight. If Rangers can maintain this level of performance and consistency, they will remain strong contenders in the race for the title.
