There was, though, an air of what might have been in the Rangers dressing room at Hampden after they worked their way back into the semi-final.<\/p>\n
“I think this is tough because we had the feeling we could beat them, even with 10 men,” Rohl said. <\/p>\n
“We put a lot of effort in, showed a lot of resilience and a lot of good spirit in the second half, nice football, we were brave.<\/p>\n
“We went to a more offensive shape and we had our moments. We were not just sitting back and I thought the equaliser was deserved.<\/p>\n
“Then you go into extra time and then go down 2-1, but even then we had two opportunities when we were one against one.”<\/p>\n
Rohl has been in charge of four games since succeeding Russell Martin, with two league wins book-ended by losses to Brann in the Europa League and now Celtic.<\/p>\n
However, the German sees positive signs.<\/p>\n
“Our reaction after the red card was outstanding,” he said. “But it is a long time, 55 minutes and then extra time, with 10 men and my team put a lot into it.<\/p>\n
“We have to take the positives and look for improvements. I am convinced, if we continue in this direction, we will have a lot of wins this season.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
