The former Tottenham and Portsmouth boss was appointed new Rangers manager on Saturday morning following Mark Hughes' sacking 24 hours previously.
And Redknapp believes it is the players who need to have a long, hard look at their performances this season.
"The players have not performed to their potential," he told Sky Sports News.
"They had a good manager in Mark Hughes but for whatever reason it did not work out. We now have to produce in the last two thirds of the season to try and get out of trouble."
The 65-year-old will watch on from the stands when Rangers take on Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, and has called for the team to stand up and be counted.
"We need a better performance today. The players have to be at it. The buck stops with them.
"I know Mark lost his job, but it's down to the players. He could only do what he could do. The players have not performed to their potential.
"There are some good players here and they really need to step up and start performing. They are man enough to know they're to blame for the position we are in.
"We can't get any lower. We are rock bottom. We have to try and get up that table.
"I remember when I was at Portsmouth and we stayed up with a game to go at Wigan - it was the most fantastic feeling."
