Jayden Meghoma believes Danny Rohl’s revival of Rangers has helped put the Light Blues “in a fantastic position to win the title”.
The Gers travel to Falkirk on Sunday, where a 1-1 draw last October saw Russell Martin given a police escort from the ground – with some fans trying to block the team bus – and the troubled tenure of the Rangers boss was brought to a close hours later.
When former Sheffield Wednesday manager Rohl took over the Ibrox hot seat, the Govan side were 13 points behind William Hill Premiership leaders Hearts, but with six fixtures remaining, the Jambos are just one point ahead of Rangers and three ahead of Celtic.
Hearts host Motherwell in the final pre-split game on Saturday afternoon, and Celtic are at home to St Mirren, while the Light Blues have to wait until the following day to try to make it four wins in a row, and Meghoma goes into the game with confidence.
The 19-year-old on-loan Brentford left-back, who returns to the side in the absence of injured Tuur Rommens, said of Rohl: “Yeah, he’s been instrumental to our success. He’s come in, and he’s changed things for all of us.

“You can see it in the group, you can see it with the fans. For us, it’s just about pushing on, and he’s really helped us be in this position. From where we were at the start of the season to now is phenomenal.
“He and the team have put ourselves in a fantastic position to go on and win the title.”
Rommens, 23, has been preferred at left-back since signing from Belgian club Westerlo in the winter transfer window, but Meghoma insists he is still developing every day. He said: “Healthy competition is always important for myself and for Tuur as well.
“So, to be honest with you, I’ve enjoyed it because it kind of pushes a different side of you, and you kind of figure out what you have to do to get back into the team, and that sort of thing. So, it’s all a learning experience for me, and I’ve enjoyed it.
“You can pick a lot of things from a lot of players, and Tuur’s obviously one of them. You learn things that he does from his past experiences, and you look at what other players are doing around the team to kind of aid your game, essentially.
“But I think over the season, a lot of players have kind of helped me with learning new things here and there.”
