Assistant coach Neil Banfield declared that things "couldn't have gone any better" in the opening six weeks of Michael Beale's Rangers reign.
The new Ibrox management team were installed in late November following the sacking of Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Since then, the Gers have won five of their six matches and drawn the other against Celtic, allowing Beale to build some early momentum. Banfield, who followed the manager north from Queen's Park Rangers, told Rangers TV: "We've ridden our luck once or twice but I think we've made our own luck with what the manager is trying to instil in the players. Overall, the five or six weeks we've been together couldn't have gone any better.
"I think the squad are good and settled, and they are getting used to the work that the manager is putting into them. We are getting some good training in with them and we are getting some good feedback from the players and they are getting used to it, so it seems to be going in a good way." Rangers have the chance to reach a first final under Beale when they face Aberdeen in the Viaplay semi-final at Hampden on Sunday. Banfield insists the Ibrox men must be braced for the prospect of a fired-up Dons side.
