Rangers manager Stuart McCall feels he can sense the belief returning to his squad at the crucial time.
The Ibrox side go into the second leg of their Scottish Premiership play-off against Queen of the South on Sunday with a 2-1 lead after reversing their poor form in Dumfries last weekend.
The Light Blues had suffered two defeats and conceded five goals without reply at Palmerston this season before reversing the trend in their play-off quarter final thanks to goals from Steven Smith and Dean Shiels.
Queens are the only team to have beaten Rangers in 12 matches under McCall and the former Motherwell boss believes the malaise that saw the Ibrox club win just once in nine matches from February 1 is lifting.
"Consistency is a big thing in football and that is what you have to strive for throughout a long season and now we have to strive for it over the next five games," he told the club's website. "It is all about believing in each other and believing in yourself and if you are feeling confident then you will go out and play better.
"But if you look around the dressing room they have a belief in each other now and supporters, players and staff have to be in it together.
"Even the lads that are out of the 18-man squad or don't get on off the bench, they all have to have that one goal and that is getting promotion.
"It was nice first and foremost to get the result on Saturday but also to do it in the manner that we did, after being pegged back to one each.
"It showed the desire, the belief and the confidence in the group, as much as anything that they actually thought they could go and get a winner and credit to them they did that.
"It is down to the players' belief in each other that they kept going and won it but we know this is only half-time and we'll look forward to Sunday."
