Stevie Smith says he understands the reasons why Rangers drew 2-2 at home to Dundee United this afternoon.
Thelo Aasgaard opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half before strikes from Kristijan Trapanovski and Craig Sibbald turned the game on its head.
Rangers levelled late on through James Tavernier as the points were shared.
Speaking to BBC Sportsound post-match, interim boss Smith said: "I think I understand the reasons why.
"When you play at such a level of intensity in the first half, and the opposition raise theirs [in the second], it's very difficult to gain momentum again.

"But we managed to get an equaliser, so I'll give them [the players] a wee bit of credit for that.
"Of course it's not [good enough]. People will ask me if I enjoyed today, I won't, because I know the expectation every time you play here is to win the game.
"I would use the frustrating word, rather than encouraging and positive.
"My general feeling just now is disappointment.
"When you don't win, you need to take responsibility. I'll take that."
Rangers return to action on Thursday evening as they travel to Norway to take on Brann in the Europa League.
Smith was asked if he is preparing the team for the match: "I've been taking it day by day," he said. "My full focus was on Dundee United. If I have more conversations tonight that give more clarity, I'll understand it, but I'm preparing for training tomorrow."
