Former Hearts and Dundee United boss Robbie Neilson has highlighted the tactical change Danny Rohl has implement to steer Rangers away from the "critical" defensive errors that plagued them earlier in the season.
When Rohl took over from Russell Martin, Rangers had picked up just one victory in their opening seven league games.
Under the German, Rangers have 10 wins and one defeat from 13 league outings while conceding just eight goals.
"I think you have short periods where your xG might be very high but you're actually not putting the ball in the net but generally over the course of a season it balances itself out," Neilson told the BBC’s Scottish Football podcast.
"Rangers' issue was that, defensively, critical errors were high which means they were losing the ball in poor areas and trying to play in poor areas. They've stopped that quite a bit.
"They're playing a little bit more direct but having less passes in their defensive third, which means there's less chance for error, and then they're just becoming a lot more solid defensively.
"It's been an interesting change. I don't think it's been huge tactical change in possession. It's been more tactical out of possession."
