The Light Blues ran out 4-1 winners over struggling Aberdeen at Ibrox

Danny Rohl has told the Rangers fans he’ll do everything in his power to keep Mikey Moore at Ibrox.

The on-loan Spurs winger put in a man-of-the-match display in their 4-1 victory over Aberdeen, scoring their second goal with a terrific finish. The home support sang Moore’s name and gave him a standing ovation when he was eventually subbed off by Rohl late on.

The 18-year-old has impressed since moving to Glasgow but is due to return to London in the summer. Rohl has reiterated his desire to get the youngster back to Rangers next term and admits talks have already started with the Premier League outfit.

Spurs and Moore would need to agree to a second loan stint but the German wants to make it happen. After goals from Tochi Chukwuani, Moore, Nico Raskin and James Tavernier kept them on the coat-tails of Hearts in the title race, Rohl was asked about supporters wanting Moore to stay and said: “Me as well! There’s no question mark.

“We started this week to prepare for the summer. We’re in a good position and we are very clear about what we want.

“It’s also helpful now that we have an idea of how I want to play football. We’re committed with a fantastic owner and good people around me.

"Everything goes in the right direction. We’re working hard to prepare for next season but let’s finish this one strong and successful.

“I think conversations are always there (regarding Moore). We know when Mikey performs like this, he enjoys playing for Rangers.

“The fans love him, I like him and he’s a key player. There’s a lot of good things, where we could go again together.

“But he’s still not our player so let’s work in that direction. The most important thing is to get results in our next seven games.

“He enjoys it here and he’s getting better and better.”

Rohl was delighted with his side’s dominant display against the Dons as they stayed just three points off Hearts at the top of the Premiership table.

He’s urged his players to keep performing at that level and attempt to win every one of their remaining games in the title race.

If they do that and pick up victories, the Gers gaffer is convinced they can lift the trophy.

If they win their next game at home to Dundee United, they could go top of the league before rivals Hearts and Celtic play.

Rohl said: “It was a great performance today. We spoke about getting a result and performance and we got both.

“It makes me really happy to see my team perform like this.

“We want to see goals but also clean sheets.

“The only small thing today was that we let Aberdeen back in for a short moment at 2-0.

“But in general, we played with intensity, we were aggressive and it was a good performance.

“It’s a small statement from us, especially with the goal difference.

“We’ve won our last two ‘cup finals’. Now we have seven more to go.

“We cannot influence the schedule. We just want to win the next two games before we go into the split and the final five games will be exciting.

“What’s important is that we have something to celebrate on the final match day.

“It doesn’t matter what the others are doing. If we win the seven games, we’ll win the league.”
