Rangers Climb to Second With Set-Piece Win Over Managerless Aberdeen

Improved set-piece work under specialist Scott Fry is fueling Danny Rohl's rapid revival.

Overview

  • Emmanuel Fernandez and Nico Raskin scored first-half headers from Connor Barron corners to seal a 2-0 victory at Ibrox.
  • The result moved Rangers above Celtic into second and cut the gap to leaders Hearts to three points, with Hearts holding a game in hand.
  • Since taking over in October, Danny Rohl has guided Rangers to 10 wins in 13 league matches after inheriting a side that was sixth and 13 points off the top.
  • Scott Fry’s mid-November appointment as set-piece coach has coincided with a spike in dead-ball returns, including seven league goals from corners and both strikes on Tuesday.
  • Aberdeen were led by interim coach Peter Leven after Jimmy Thelin’s sacking and face Rangers again at Pittodrie on Sunday, as Rohl targets January reinforcements.
