THE LIGHT BLUES.. AND GREENS AND REDS AND YELLOWS!

Rohl explains how his colour code system helps pinpoint where Gers need to improve

- 

IT feels like Rangers have been stuck at a set of traffic lights for years.

Now, they've turned to a German in Danny Rohl to try and get them motoring again.

And the new Ibrox gaffer has revealed he's using his own colour code system to mark every player in his squad.

When Rohl arrived in Glasgow, he said he'd need three weeks to deliver a verdict on who was in the building, During this international break, he submitted to sporting director Kevin Thelwell and the board his own dossier on what is required at Rangers.

Within it, players who Rohl feels are valuable and wants to keep were marked, ironically, in green. Others he clearly feels may be surplus to requirements were highlighted in red.

And the rest were yellow-the jury is still out on this set and they have it all to prove.

Rohl offered a fascinating insight into how he works ahead of this weekend's Premiership game against Livingston.

He's been hit with an injury crisis with several stars back unfit after international duty.

And that might alter his thinking going into the January transfer window.

But with the likes of John Souttar, Derek Cornelius, Mikey Moore and Youssef Chermiti all struggling, Rohl will get his chance to assess others.

And that means some yellows or reds might earn a green sticker if they are able to prove themselves to the manager.

Asked about his report, Rohl said: "I put players in my light system-green, red and yellow.

"To give an overview, this is helpful. Then it's important to understand the content.

"It's not just that you put the light system on then you make a decision.

"It's about the contracts side and also about positions.

"We have injuries so now it's a time when you can see more of the players. Some might be more yellow but maybe they can improve to be a green.

"We will meet again next week and look through it.
