Danny Rohl says his biggest current challenge at Rangers is getting the team ready to play both in Europe and in Scotland.
The new Ibrox head coach has had a hectic start to life in the hotseat, starting well domestically with three league wins out of three to stabilise the Premiership form. However, they have lost two Europa League games as well as a League Cup semi-final to Celtic.
It is only Rohl's second job as a manager but he has extensive experience as a coach at Rb Leipzig, Southampton, Bayern Munich and the German national team.
It is his first taste of Scottish football. but says nothing about the game here has taken him by surprise.
"Not really", he told Rangers TV when asked that question. I'm very positive with all these things.
"I think the biggest challenge is that you have a lot of new opponent. You have to understand what it means to play in the league, but you have also to understand what it means play three days later in the European League. I think this is the most important challenge at the moment, to find a good balance. But all in all, a lot of positive things."

The 36-year-old has been able to bring in his own backroom team in Sascha Lense and Matthias Kaltenbach, and this week added set-piece coach Scott Fry.
In the short time he has been in charge, he sees the team becoming more more like a Rohl team and insists they are moving in the right direction.
He added: "We are in a good way, but of course in some minutes of the game you see a little bit the old habits. You have to work on it. And I think, if you want just three weeks, six games, it's not so much.
"But we showed especially in the in the league that it goes the right direction. But of course you cannot do less. You have to be on front foot, you have to do more. Because we want to win more games in the future and for this, I see my team in the right direction.
"I think the reaction after the Bergen game was a crucial thing. We were honest to each other in the meeting room, we spoke about basics and it's going better and better. But of course in all the phases of our game is still space for improvements and this is important because if you stop your development then you stop your, your performance goes in the right level. And I think at the moment we increase the level, we increase the intensity. But of course we want to do more."
