GRAEME MURTY admits developing a personal understanding with his Rangers squad has been crucial to his success as interim boss.

The 43-year-old earned his fifth win in seven games on Saturday as the Light Blues came from a goal down to beat Ross County at Ibrox.

Murty looked set to hand over the Gers reins following the victory over Aberdeen last weekend as he led his side to second spot in the Premiership.

But he will now remain at the helm until into the New Year after Derek McInnes turned down the chance to succeed Pedro Caixinha as manager.

The Ibrox crowd have taken to Murty in recent weeks and the Under-20 boss is pleased with the reaction of the players that he inherited back in October.

“You just make it up as you go along,” he joked when asked about his man management approach.

“It is difficult, but I said when I came in the first team that people definitely care what you think if they think that you care about them. It is about building relationships.

“But also first team players have to know that you can impact them at first team level and get them success.

“So I am particularly pleased for the staff that a change we made at half time worked and Alfredo comes off the bench and scores and that Daniel has come back into the team and gets an assist.

“The players need to know that the staff around them can make them better and make them successful.

“If you can do that, as well as having a good personal relationship with them, you will go a long way to getting buy in from the players and I think we have got that as a staff.

“It is not just me, it is all of the staff – Craig Flannigan, Jonathan (Johansson), Colin Stewart the goalkeeping coach has done wonderful work with Wes and Jak. I would credit the staff, it is not just me.”
