They have not won a competition since the 2023 League Cup, which came the year after a Scottish Cup triumph and their 2021 Premiership title.
Since 2021, Celtic have won nine trophies, Aberdeen and St Mirren one each and Hearts are on course for their first top-flight title since 1960.
Celtic, as well as being in contention to defend the Premiership title they won last season, are in this month’s Scottish Cup final, where they will face Championship promotion hopefuls Dunfermline Athletic.
Improved form since Rohl was appointed brought Rangers to within a point of the long-time leaders and even ahead for 24 hours before Hearts played their game in hand.
However, defeats by Motherwell at Ibrox and Hearts in Edinburgh have given Rohl’s side a challenge to finish even as runners-up and secure a Champions League qualifying place, with the winners bound for the play-off round.
“A good process is not enough,” said former Sheffield Wednesday boss and Germany assistant Rohl, who also worked Bayern Munich. “A good process is, for us, not what we want.
“We want the titles and for this, we have to change things. Like I said, we set standards, but the standards we have to increase and if we do this, then we have a chance.
“You can be the world champion in the training, but you have to bring it on the pitch.
“We need in some moments a great game management to come through some difficult moments, because in every game there are some moments where your opponent can be back in the game or not.”
