Cammy Devlin says Rangers cannot afford to get carried away after their 1-0 win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie, with a Wednesday night trip to face Falkirk coming next.
The Rangers squad had already been dealing with the frustration of a disappointing European exit before the Aberdeen match, and Devlin said the time together in Aberdeen helped the group reset. He said the team had come together, had good conversations and spent some time addressing what went wrong.
For Devlin, the main message was simple: the win was only a starting point. “It’s a start, it’s one win,” he said, adding that Rangers must “keep our feet on the ground” and “keep working hard” before moving on to Wednesday.
What Devlin wants Rangers to carry forward
Devlin’s comments fit the mood around a squad that still has a lot to settle. He pointed to the fact that there are a lot of new players and a new manager in the building, which means results and recovery from setbacks matter as much as the performances themselves.
He also stressed that both winning and losing can serve a purpose in a group that is trying to build quickly. In his view, defeats can force honest conversations, while wins can keep momentum moving without leaving too much time to dwell on the past.
That is where the Aberdeen result matters most. Rangers got the response they needed after the European disappointment, but Devlin made clear the job is not finished. “Everyone’s so desperate to do well for this football club and bring success to this football club,” he said.
Now the focus shifts to Falkirk. Rangers are due to play away on Wednesday night, and the challenge will be to show that the 1-0 win over Aberdeen was not just a one-off reaction, but the beginning of something more stable.
