Danny Röhl insists Rangers will be "tough to stop" if they start to marry performances with results.
A hard-fought 1-0 win over St Mirren last Sunday left Rangers three points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts and one behind Celtic, with eight fixtures remaining.
Three welcome points in Paisley came a week after Rangers were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by the Hoops at Ibrox on penalties, despite dominating most of the 120 minutes.
Ahead of the visit of Aberdeen at Ibrox on Saturday, Röhl said: "If you bring performance and results together, then I think everyone would be very happy.
"Let's look back to the last five games. We played a strong performance against Hearts with a good result (4-2). Then we played 50 minutes, 55 minutes against Celtic strong, not with the result we wanted (2-2).
"We played Livingston away, a performance with a lot of chances, but we couldn't take the win (2-2).
"At home we played over 120 minutes, a good performance, but we didn't take the result. And now we had one game where we performed not on our highest level, but we took the result.
"You see it as mixed. My wish, of course, is that we have performance and result together. Then I think it will be tough to stop us.
"The key is that we go into the international break with the three points, and then we have two more games and then we go into the split.
"Time is running out, less games to go, and for us it's about winning games."
Röhl was pleased to see Findlay Curtis get his first call-up by Scotland.
The 19-year-old winger, on loan at Kilmarnock, is the only uncapped player in Steve Clarke's squad for friendlies against Japan and the Ivory Coast after impressing in six loan games with Killie.
Röhl said: "I was really happy, I sent him a message. A big congratulations to him. I think it's a huge step.
"And for me, the plan was he got his game minutes. He got game minutes and now he could make the step up in the national squad.
"This is fantastic. I think he is playing in different positions, that helps as well. And our goal was that we bring Findlay back in the summer and we get a better player.
"And all these things go in the right direction. I'm not sure if this is possible (at Rangers) when you have five, six, seven players in the same position. And that was the reason why we made the decision.
"I'm really pleased with this development. I follow him, we follow him as a club, and he helps us as well with good performances and with good results."
Röhl has doubts over Andreas Skov Olsen and Mikey Moore for the Aberdeen clash but is hoping Mohamed Diomande will be fit while confident that Tuur Rommens will shrug off a knock.
