Spoke to my good friend and ex chairman today. He told me that all is not as it may seem with Rohl. He is not happy in the goldfish bowl of Glasgow and he misses his family. He said he will be leaving at the end of the season 🫡
07 May 2026 19:15:50
Yeh, that's been posted last week. Time will tell mate.
07 May 2026 19:26:31
So, between a few posts, it would seem Danny is off, and for a good reason. Olsen won't be signing, and tbh, probably best head back to Denmark and reset.
I forgot who said it, but problematic signings may be coming. This, along with mature Scottish signings and we will be surprised, has me a tad intrigued but a bit worried. 🤷🏼
07 May 2026 19:32:32
Ex chairman Florida. 🤔
07 May 2026 19:38:55
Saying this as someone who wanted Muscat over Rohl back in October, I would keep him if he wanted to stay for another season, but if the pressure is too much for him, then it's probably for the best that he and the club part ways.
I think, if we went back in for Muscat, then he would be likely to come in straight away this time.
He's not in a position where his team are fighting tooth and nail for a league title near the end of a season, and his team are unlikely to win their league anyway due to the points deduction.
The main issue is that our squad needs gutted yet again, and that will be a major headache for Rohl or any possible replacement in the summer.
07 May 2026 19:39:52
Would dearly love that to be true. Evenoreso, I hope the club can be ambitious and proactive and let him go anyway in two weeks. Atrocious team selections and in-game management and pathetic performances when push came to shove. We must strive for better.
07 May 2026 19:41:26
Yes Coops, I don't want to name him but I can confirm he is older than me and I don't know much bigger a Rangers man. 🫡
07 May 2026 19:43:58
If Rohl stays he'll get my support, but I personally would change the manager. Granted, I get it's not his team, but after length of time he's had with the squad, I would be expecting to see some kind of style of play, and there isn't any. He has a fairly poor record against teams in the top 6 and isn't learning quickly enough for me.
As I say, he'll get my full backing if he remains manager, but I fear we've seen this movie before. Poor start to the season, and we'll be looking for another manager come Christmas.
07 May 2026 19:45:16
I don't think many are too up or down about the prospect of Rohl leaving, and that tells its own story.
07 May 2026 19:46:33
I assume the owners will have someone in place, ready for replacement? We got names, if so?
07 May 2026 19:55:40
Surely we'll find out sooner rather than later if he's staying or going, with all the media speculation, the club or Danny will have to make comment on the situation.
07 May 2026 19:57:14
If Rohl does go, Derek Mciness should be asked.
07 May 2026 19:57:56
Best for all involved. Stabled a sinking ship but did nothing impressive. Let him go on at minimal cost.
Go to Gorgie and give McInnes whatever he wants.
07 May 2026 19:58:08
Just my opinion.
Cavenagh wanted Gerrard before RM got the job. Timing wasn't right for Gerrard. Cavenagh again wanted Gerrard after RM was sacked, deal was pretty much done according to some sources, but talk broke down when Thelwell got involved.
Gerrard is who Cavenagh has always wanted as manager. The statement he made after RM was sacked with this quote "The two of us are deeply involved, and the evaluation will have our full attention until we are confident we have a leader with the character and skillset to deliver results." Pretty much points to Gerrard.
Unless Gerrard takes a job down south in the Championship, I think he'll be back in our dugout for next season.
07 May 2026 20:03:26
Florida Bear, going by your name and the fact he splits his time between Scotland and America, I'm guessing Alistair Johnston 🤔 not expecting a yes or no. 😅
07 May 2026 20:09:21
Hopefully we broaden the horizons to more than just Gerrard and Muscat. Don't want either.
Whoever comes in has to be the next manager for 3/4 seasons. I CBA with these managerial changes every year.
07 May 2026 20:36:18
Cya later, Dr. Welcome Km
Simple as that.
07 May 2026 20:39:08
Florida, you're right, protect your source.
I'm told a meeting has already taken place, reason Souness was at training centre.
Cal B Cavanagh wanted Rohl here long term. I don't think this would be a Rangers decision.
07 May 2026 20:39:40
Rohl going does not worry me. Just who would replace would be the concern, not many out of work options, which seems to be the preferred method.
07 May 2026 20:49:24
If true - Danny chalking up two very short term roles on his CV already. Not an impressive start to his tenure as a top team boss.
07 May 2026 20:53:30
Great info from many - very welcome.
As much as I would love us to play like PSG, we need to recognise we are a reasonably unique beast in a reasonably desperate situation - style very much comes after substance - let's not make the same mistakes as we have previously and get in someone with experience of Scottish football and who is willing to buy Scottish footballers.
07 May 2026 21:29:23
Interesting times, John. 🫡
07 May 2026 21:43:03
Yes Florida, things should unfold after Falkirk game.
07 May 2026 21:44:29
John,
How much involvement and influence would you say Souness has?
I ask because he was in and around the club when the 3 Bears took control as I pulled up beside him off Blythswood Sq that day. He was asked to help interview potential candidates down to Clement and Lampard.
Now he's back at the Club when there's chat and rumours of changes of management again. I have always thought he was a silent investor, but is there more to it?
07 May 2026 21:48:05
Souness is an ambassador, maybe AC has brought him in as an advisor to him due to his influence with the support and club?
Guess it's something we'll never know, I suppose.
07 May 2026 21:59:55
So, after the Falkirk game, reading between the lines to what both John and Florida are saying, it will be announced that Danny Rohl is leaving as Rangers head coach and the hunt for our new head coach will have begun. 🤔 Another lot of changes and upheaval at our club. ☹️
07 May 2026 22:10:03
Great, sounds like Danny could go and the 2 main candidates wanted are 2 that didn't want to put the work in when we needed because it wasn't absolutely perfect. And funnily enough no one else has wanted since.
07 May 2026 22:11:33
Surely it's time to win the league first and foremost, a proven manager who understands our club and the game in this country, we can be braver again when we have done the basics first, Rangers have forgotten how to win things in Scotland, any things,
We are screaming out for Rangers mindset to return, the club is losing its dignity, its identity and it's thirst for success
Mediocre and projects are absolutely not what we need right now, we need a winning competent manager who signs winning fighting players, nit the fairy's we usually sign, no bottle, no heart and no shame, James Tavernier in other words
07 May 2026 22:21:51
Walter, after the Falkirk game, could be a month, year, or more. I take it I will be getting harangued at 1600 next week. It may be annooor. We may wait till we have someone in place.
07 May 2026 22:53:26
I have always said I have serious doubts about him, but was willing to give him another year.
Kaiser, I agree with that, also can't wait for all those posts coming up in the next few weeks. 🤦♂️
07 May 2026 23:16:34
Jasper, was Souness not at the ground for his 40th anniversary dinner at EH?
07 May 2026 23:53:39
Kaiser, we can't assume anything unless you know 100% the circumstances as to why he didn't take it.
If he didn't want to work with Thelwell, surely that's his prerogative? No?
08 May 2026 01:42:01
It's a pity he is leaving. I think he will become a great manager, but he's got a young family and you can't blame the man for putting them first.
08 May 2026 01:49:26
Rfc, he needs an experienced man to learn from for 5 years imo an Advocaat or McLeish, he's not a no1 mate.
08 May 2026 02:28:20
I think it would be a killing blow for us should Rohl leave in terms of we just don't have stability. We are a basket case club, and due to recent upheaval of management and players consistently, we are seriously uninspiring for players and managers alike to join us. We've seen it recently in abundance, imo Gerrard doesn't fix anything here, his time here is looked upon with tinted specs due to him more or less going out on a high, but for a large amount of his time we played with little to no style and he was tactically poor baring 55 although we still managed to get dumped out of two cups. I don't think McInnes would leave Hearts either should they win a title, he could seriously kick on and then aspire for bigger i.e. the Prem. Now I'm not saying the clubs he could end up at are bigger because it would be lower level, but in terms of the modern game and what we now are, I would probably say it's more of an achievement for a manger wanting the best out of his career to go to the Prem rather than here.
My understanding is we took some serious kickbacks last year from a hire calibre of managers who simply wouldn't give us the time of the day, so what do we do? Who do we go for? I feel we've got the right owners, and owners who will work and fight for us, but I believe we are currently so far down a hole we may not see success for years to come, which is sicking considering the last 15. The team blowing this title, the CL a real chance to kick on financially and mentally has come at probably the worst time for us. I hate being a scare monger, but I think we could be headed down a bad path.
08 May 2026 02:47:00
Stevie G, I think we should have got a manager like Neil McCann in beside him, someone that knows the Scottish league, but in my opinion in 3/4 years Danny will be a top manager.
08 May 2026 05:50:20
I agree with what a few people have said. Danny will be a good manager in a few years, but he is not there yet.
And, if he's not all in on us, then we move on.
Now, to be clear here, I don't blame Gerrard or Muscat for refusing to work under Thelwell, so I wouldn't hold that against them.
I don't want Gerrard back.
Muscat is who I've said we need since Gio left, failing that I'd ask Del.
Guess we'll know more sooner rather than later, I suppose.
But I cannot lie, imo I'm going to be glad that Rohl is not here next season.
08 May 2026 06:03:47
Anyone else hearing Rangers have a tentative offer put forward to Motherwell of 1.2million for Elliot Watt.
08 May 2026 06:44:04
YoungBlue, he's always around when big decisions are being made though.
08 May 2026 07:57:19
Perhaps Stig, but he did lead us along for weeks and on more than one occasion. And he did also say unless everything is absolutely perfect he wouldn't come. Is everything absolutely perfect at the club now? And what job do u walk into that is? u work to make it that way, don't just expect it to keep getting handed to u.
The same way he left us the minute things got hard for him and he was asked to work with what he'd built and the decisions he'd made, constantly moaning since he wasn't backed. Muscat also knew he had absolutely no intention of leaving his club so was wasting our time.
08 May 2026 08:46:45
If DR leaves now, that seriously worries me. 1st, who replaces him & 2nd, what about transfer targets, esp given half the squad are moving on & we desperately need business done early. I do NOT want a repeat of last season's summer saga; don't ever want to see us go thru that rubbish ever again.
08 May 2026 08:52:27
To all you wanting Gerrard. Will you give him another 3 years to win the league? Will you give him 6 months?
Going backwards is rarely the right thing to do, the chapter is closed, move on.
Smith was the exception to that rule, is Gerrard another Smith, not in my eyes, not even close.
08 May 2026 09:05:00
Gees, no one will be close to Walter, it's a silly comparison really.
08 May 2026 09:49:40
Derek McInnes must be approached in the event of Rohl leaving. It would be incompetent not to. If he leads Hearts to the title, what boxes doesn't he tick?
08 May 2026 10:50:01
Beef, I didn't compare him, to the contrary I said he isn't. The point being second attempts rarely work.
08 May 2026 11:11:26
Why is it we seem to be the only club who, when needing a manager, centre forward or even left winger, we obsess on 3 names, like these 3 names are the only ones in the world, such a weird thing
We have literally thousands of players and head coaches to look at, not 2-3, I'm not sure I want DR away, but I'm not sure if I want him to stay either, i know what I want Tav to do, and a few other players, we must get the Scottish things sorted first, we must begin to win here first, we've lost the knack of winning,
My greatest days in my long years of being a Rangers man were always heading to a sunny splendid day at Hampden, just after winning the league and going for the Scottish Cup, sun out, beers in and a feeling of " this is what Rangers are ", I loved those days
When was the last time that happened
08 May 2026 12:03:45
RFC - Did he forget where his family lived when he signed a 4 year contract?
08 May 2026 12:37:43
Just watched this morning's press conference and the take away is that DR remains committed to Rangers for the new season. I didn't pick up on vibes that it was in doubt. Clearly he isn't going to come out and say if he was leaving, but could've said something along the lines of it is paper talk and we are only focussing on the next game.
I don't discount what people have said about missing his family and how that is affecting him, but didn't sound like someone jacking it in.
If he does go, let's hope it is because someone wants him and has to pay compensation to us. As for a new manager, please stop going back to Stevie G and Kevin M.
There are other managers out there, and these guys have previously knocked us back. It smacks of desperation. If you asked someone out, and they gave you a knock back, it would seem a bit creepy if you kept going back each time you finished a relationship to someone who knocked you back before. There is a bigger world out there. Same goes for Derek McInnes - that ship has sailed.
I'd like to see him given next season to be honest, as the bulk of the squad is either pre RM or RM transfers who weren't good enough previously. Of the 4 signings in Jan, IMO 3 are positive.
08 May 2026 12:49:51
Rohl has said at the press conference today, his future is with Rangers and the club are full behind him, so doesn't sound like he's going anywhere.
08 May 2026 13:33:04
When has a football manager ever said he's interested in another job when asked at a press conference?
08 May 2026 14:03:09
Never, Sausagerohl, but you do get responses that are along the lines of 'our focus is on the game at the weekend and we don't comment on rumours,' kind of thing. In this press conference, he was clear that he is enthusiastic for next season, etc etc. You wouldn't be saying that if you were going.
He didn't have to say that, he could easily say not going to comment on speculation. I may be wrong, but too many +ve comments about being here next season.
This doesn't mean that things could change, e.g. Wolfsburg/German team coming in for him. Just don't think he is jacking it in.
08 May 2026 14:39:27
Hopefully he goes. Rangers manager has bottled it and is not what we need. He won't do any good next season, he doesn't have the mentality nor experience to win leagues or trophies. Oneil, an old man, came in and turned those ones around and got a turn out of an average Celtic team because he has that experience.
If Danny Rohl is in charge next season we may not even finish 3rd. Get rid of him. If we lose on Sunday, we could end up losing all our games. That trip to Spain was a total waste of time.
08 May 2026 15:19:23
May not finish 3rd, but has the best point total this season using players he came into Belblue, cool.
08 May 2026 15:41:18
Sorry, but we hear this calibure of player nonsense every year and it's utter bull.
For me.
Aasgaard no better than Hagi.
Naderi not better than Igamane for me.
Chermiti not better than Desssers.
Skov not better than anyone.
Ooft, would take McCausland or Matondo back over him in heartbeat, now shocked at him lol.
Antman Gassama together not as good as Cerny.
Djiga not better than Balogun.
There are just so many downgrades in that squad, especially the frontline.
08 May 2026 15:58:19
My star, but it's all for nothing. Not cool.
08 May 2026 16:16:54
Belblue have to agree with Mystar in this one. He had the best points total since he'd been here with the worst recruitment, but u question if we'd come 3rd when he gets his own players. That's a bit over the top. Like him or don't, but that's ridiculous.
08 May 2026 16:36:25
Kaiser, what is ridiculous is the total capitulation. You can defend this season all you want, but our performances have been sub standard. If you're content with temporarily turning things around only to bottle it, that's your decision, but Danny's tactics just aren't good enough. If you honestly think Danny Rohl, with his lack of experience, and clearly he's distracted by missing his family, that he is the man to take us forward, then, with all due respect, I think you're wrong.
I am sick of going into work and have Celtic fans laugh at us. That Celtic team are not a good side, we should have beaten them at Ibrox in the league and cup, however Martin O'Neil got the better of us and may win the double.
I am not getting into an argument with fellow bears, it's not the fans' fault.
You guys bleed blue and are the best in the world and deserve much much better. 💙
08 May 2026 17:03:33
When Rohl came in at first I was massively against it because I've been wanting someone with more experience for years. Really don't think we've had an older head with experience as main man in Europe since Walter or even someone with gravitas in game like Gerrard to help attract a better player would be good.
But Rohl got me onside by steadying ship and I still think he deserves a crack at it next season regardless, but I started having doubts again around Porto, Hibs games when he prioritised European game over league game, which was madness for me. He was always focused on next game only, but that Porto game he changed tone, then did same in Motherwell Hearts double header, and I really don't like that attitude.
You have to go full tilt for game in front of you and not even consider the next game until current game out the way, you see what available for next game. And then we get on to bizarre subs and players bombed out and brought in from nowhere or dropped after decent performance, strange. And the Spain training camp, sorry but just no, we need to stop making same mistake with different people in charge, it's like they don't look at past mistake down to arrogance.
08 May 2026 17:03:47
Rant over.
08 May 2026 17:04:16
My star, hypothetical question; I know, mate, but I'll ask you anyway, mate. 🤔 If it didn't happen to work out with Danny Rohl, you say we should go and get Derek McInnes, do you think he'd leave Hearts to become Rangers manager, mate? 🤔
08 May 2026 17:59:10
Interesting stuff, Florida. I think he will go too.
08 May 2026 18:38:27
Might be alone in this, but I cudnt care less about Europe, yes qualifying for Europe is important financially, but we are way off the quality & squad depth to compete properly. Our no 1 priority has to be starting to dominate domestically, then Europe can follow on after that.
Our run this season has cost us in fitness, injuries & selections for domestic games. Will be intetsting next season to see how us, Hearts & them lot cope with Europe & domestic pressures.
08 May 2026 18:42:13
Belblue, I totally get the concerns over him, and not getting into argument either, not the way I meant to put it across. But no way we struggle for 3rd. He's made mistakes like any manager, but he has turned us around, though, which is the important thing.
The fact people are now thinking we have bottled it shows how far we came despite the poor tools he has. He deserves at least the chance to build his own. If he can top the points with this lot, with those who have bottled it for years, then what could he do with better?
