Rangers beat Celtic at the weekend to move level on points with their Old Firm rivals A "real togetherness" is helping Rangers, with defender John Souttar saying: "I think we're building something here". Following a troubled start to the season, the Ibrox side will move second in the Scottish Premiership if they avoid defeat at home to Aberdeen on Tuesday. Victory would move them three points behind Hearts at the summit. Saturday's 3-1 derby triumph away to Celtic was manager Danny Rohl's ninth win in 12 league games since taking over from Russell Martin in October, while there has been just one loss in that run. Scotland international Souttar said it was "so early" to be talking about silverware but did add: "There's a real togetherness and I think we're building something here. "I think we can feel it. The manager, everyone involved can feel it, but it's important we keep backing it up. " Rohl inherited a squad short on confidence, with Rangers eight points behind Celtic and 13 adrift of Hearts. "He's clear on what he wants from everyone on the pitch, " said Souttar of the German. "Tactically he's really good and he can change it within games and he's not scared to do it at half-time. " Referencing the comeback win over Celtic, Souttar continued: "(Mohamed) Diomande came on (for Thelo Aasgaard) and brought real energy. Thelo was really good the other night, so I think it's hard to pinpoint one or two things he's good at but I really enjoy working with him. "We just need to keep the momentum going, take it game by game because if we don't back up on Tuesday there's no point in doing that on Saturday, so every game's massive and we keep going. " Meanwhile, Rohl has revealed Dujon Sterling is available to face Aberdeen despite being charged with driving offences following a crash in Glasgow in the wake of the Old Firm encounter. The 26-year-old was arrested after a one-vehicle collision in the early hours of Sunday morning. Police Scotland said no one was injured in the incident and the player will appear in court at a later date. Asked if the defender was likely to play, Rohl told Sky Sports: "Yeah, he is available. "I'm glad that nothing more happened. I think that is the good part. And everything else, we will see. " Aberdeen sacked manager Jimmy Thelin on Sunday and Rohl thinks the visitors may "bring a little bit more emotion because the players want to show up, but now it's up to them. " He continued: "But it's about how we can perform again on a good level. We have to take the second half (against Celtic) as our role model again, be aggressive, be on the front foot, try to bring our strength. If we do this then we can beat the next opponent as well.
