Danny Rohl is primed for "nine cup finals" as he attempts to defy the odds and lead Rangers to title glory this season.
Rangers are winless in three games and were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Celtic at Ibrox on penalties last weekend despite registering 24 shots compared to the visitors' one.
Rohl's men, with just two victories in their past six league outings, occupy third place in the Premiership and could be nine points behind leaders Hearts by the time of Sunday's trip to St Mirren.
Having analysed the derby defeat with his players, the German said: "We spoke about two things. There's the performance and there's the results.
"Especially now when you go into the nine cup finals, it's all about results. You get nothing from good performances.
"Compare the first game at home against Celtic where we dropped after 50 minutes to this game, then you see that we can carry on over 120 minutes how we want to play football. There was a lot of positive things but ultimately, football is all about results and we got nothing.
"There was disappointment over the three games because I'm totally convinced that we should have won all three games and we deserved to. But ultimately we gift them too many opportunities to win or to take the draw.
"We created a lot of opportunities in the box. We have done a lot of finishing and this was also part of this week. We need to keep our defensive structure. I think in open play, teams have not really had chances against us in all three games.
"You see it also in set-plays at the moment, at both ends. This is what we did really well in January and this is what we need again.
"But I totally believe in our process also there because we very often create situations where we can score."
Rohl was encouraged when he watched the cup game against Celtic again.
"I watched it back and there are so many patterns, how we are connected," he said. "Even how much we improved in open play from the first to the second game.
"When you look back at the chances, sometimes you have to give credit to the opponents' defender, so often they made the right block at the right moment. Sometimes we blocked our own [shot] on the line.
"We have to create more and more opportunities and then I am sure we can score again and again.
"The problem is we have conceded goals with less chances against us. This is what we have to stop so it is good to get in the lead and stay on the front foot."
