Danny Rohl has been speaking to the media before Rangers host Annan Athletic in the Scottish Cup on Friday.
Here are the key lines from the Ibrox boss:
- On newly-signed left-back Tuur Rommens, who will be ready to play in 10-14 days: "I'm very happy that he's here now. We worked hard to make this deal done. He will bring us a physical side as well to the team. I think he's very strong in the defence and also in the offensive."
- Asked about a loan move for Wolfsburg and Denmark winger Andreas Skov Olsen, which is reportedly close to completion, Rohl says: "I'm not a good poker player. But now we are in the process, it looks very positive. But as long as it's not confirmed then I cannot tell you too much."
- He adds on Olsen: "If we can bring the best out of him then he is a weapon," and says the 26-year-old will be a "great loan deal" and Rangers "always try to make it a permanent deal".
- Olsen would take Rangers' signings haul to three in the January window and Rohl is confident of more, saying chairman Andrew Cavenagh is "on the front foot".
- On the three-team title race between Hearts, Rangers and Celtic, Rohl believes it could go to the final game of the season.
- On the cup tie, Rohl says Rangers show "big respect" to every opponent and cited shock knockout defeats for Real Madrid and Crystal Palace in the past week as a reason why his side can't take Annan lightly.
- He will rotate his team for the game because some players need a rest and others deserve a chance.
