Rangers banter 5

17 Jun 2026 13:04:55
I wish Rohl the best in his new role, he's far from being the worst manager we've had and at least he took the job, he clearly wasn't our first choice and we were starting to look a bit amateur at one point. Thankfully the owners have acted a lot better replacing him.

17 Jun 2026 14:12:45
I also wish our now former head coach Danny Rohl all the best in his new job as the head coach of RBSalzburg. 👍 I wish him no ill. 👍 I truly think he will go on to have a good successful career in management. 🤔

17 Jun 2026 14:32:17
💯 Gents.

Danny was a decent, honest man who was sadly out his depth at Rangers IMO. We need a proper LEADER. A man that understands The Club, The Expectations and The Demands of the fans. I've no doubt he'll do well in his new role, but Rangers 99% of the time is no place for a young, inexperienced Manager. Good Luck, Danny.

17 Jun 2026 15:02:38
He could not get away quick enough. 9 months at Rangers, yet we knew in April he wanted out.

Wish him the best as we want the addons, also told we have a compensation clause if he moves on, that is quite unusual for a manager imo.

17 Jun 2026 16:11:39
To be fair to your good self, John, you called this regarding Danny Rohl wanting to leave Rangers, even before the season actually finished. 👍 🇬🇧

17 Jun 2026 16:19:01
I get that, John, but he also took the job when others, who were reportedly in advanced talks, walked away. He brought the team and the fans together again and conducted himself very well. He also had a fantastic head of hair and sported the brogues in immaculate fashion. 😂
Good luck to him.

17 Jun 2026 16:21:37
Walter, too much was happening behind the scenes.

17 Jun 2026 18:09:44
Alloa, it's syrup of fig.

17 Jun 2026 19:25:59
What a masterstroke by AC to get money for someone who was never good enough to be Rangers manager in the first place.

After seeing he was already taking training for RBS, I couldn't give a monkeys about wishing him all the best.

17 Jun 2026 12:18:44
Is mudryks ban ovwr now? I know it was shortened at me point and I think possibly it's been or going to be rescinded soon, if so I'd love to make a loan move for him.

Hes some talent, with a point to prove he offers more than Gassama

17 Jun 2026 12:27:14
Still a couple of years, Stevie, sure he appealed and lost a few months ago, mate, think it was a four year ban.

17 Jun 2026 12:28:22
He looked very impressive for the Ukraine club, never really got going at Chelsea.

17 Jun 2026 12:54:39
CAS is in the process of receiving written submissions from the F.A and Mudryk's team in relation to the appeal, which has not been heard or decided as of yet.
Using the same legal team that did Pogba's, probably even a loan is out of reach, Stevie, even if, as Mudryk hopes, he can get back earlier if successful.

17 Jun 2026 13:17:24
Thought I read something a couple of months ago, must have been appealing it then.

17 Jun 2026 13:28:11
I don't think we should be signing anyone who was found guilty of doping, even if they are claiming that they never knowingly took it.

Meldonium isn't licensed in this country (only in Russia and the Eastern Bloc; say no more) and isn't available anywhere in an over the shelf product and is very, very rarely discovered as an ingredient in mainstream supplements.

So, it was prescribed for someone, and then he must have taken that drug. Just nipping off to see if my auntie has cojones.

17 Jun 2026 16:58:55
Fork, thanks for that info informedandwer, mate appreciate that. 👍🏻

Lads, I understand he failed a doping test but I don't believe he took it knowingly, just my view.

I think when he's fit Chelsea will loan him out to put him in a shop window, maybe it's too late now, but maybe January he'll be available.

17 Jun 2026 18:29:09
No worries, bud. 👍👍

17 Jun 2026 18:58:44
We shouldn't go near any player with that kind of baggage.

17 Jun 2026 12:09:59
Im hearing the hold up for the announcment of derek mcinnes is that andrew cavenagh has asked him to shave his beard off before he even thinks about putting on the famous managers suit and brown brouges. mcinnes is thinking about walking away from deal as he loves his beard. could go either way this. 🤔🤔.

17 Jun 2026 13:27:48
Could be close shave then. 👀😳

17 Jun 2026 13:31:54
Aye right. Didn't Russell Martin have his beard for the whole time he was manager. Tell whoever it is winding you up, they need to try harder. Ad didn't Souness have a moustache. It might have been a tradition at one point in our history but is long gone.

17 Jun 2026 13:35:07
Did Martin not have a beard?

17 Jun 2026 13:45:41
Angus & Peter. 😂🎣

17 Jun 2026 14:04:37
Aye Martin did have a beard. Look how that ended up. And he never wore a suit. 🤣🤣

17 Jun 2026 14:07:24
How is it. 🎣 I was trying not to just say the OP was posting c**p after the discussions yesterday on Bing, nice to others, and giving the OP the benefit of the doubt.

17 Jun 2026 15:47:17
Caught 2 bites with one bait. 🤣

17 Jun 2026 15:49:04
TheRoyalBurgh, I jokingly posted this a few days ago, was the rules quite a few years ago when even John Greig had to get permission to grow a goate beard.

17 Jun 2026 19:00:06
Aye folks, Andrew is razor sharp, lol.

17 Jun 2026 11:26:45
Rangers have confirmed Rohl is away and am happy

17 Jun 2026 11:34:43
Glad to see Rohl gone and he's got what he wanted!! We move on with a better Gaffer. 👍

17 Jun 2026 11:44:24
Phew. Might be able to stop watching the team from behind the sofa. He was a PE teacher. Clueless team selections and substitutions. Went from winning the league to 3rd. We can only wonder what might have been from 2-0 against the Tims to 3rd. Let's see what Del can do.

17 Jun 2026 11:49:49
Well, as long as you are all glad. Hope one day you will find happiness. I don't believe McInnes is the answer, but will get my full backing.

17 Jun 2026 11:53:47
Best thing for all parties, good luck to Danny on his new job,
Time for us all to look forward to new start under DM & get behind him & team. Let's hope exciting times ahead.

17 Jun 2026 11:59:35
Agree, Geesa.
Let's cut out all the he wisna good enough / school teacher guff. He was a manager of our club and, ok, didn't work out, still deserves respect. Honestly, wonder about some of our fans.

17 Jun 2026 12:02:32
Best thing indeed, and this move has probably saved our season and potentially could win us the league.

Danny was going to get sacked by December at the latest.

We've got a few million for him and his team, some suggest £4m.



We've paid less than a million for the new team. 500k for Derek, so coaches will still be under a mill.

Great business as for vast majority we now have the person we want in charge.

17 Jun 2026 13:21:40
Stevie G. The compensation (if true) is fine, but it's really an irrelevance.
And, it's the manager you and others want, I get that, but not everyone, so please talk for yourself and not others.

17 Jun 2026 13:24:50
2 nil up at half time and absolutely flying. To come out 2nd half, sit in and let Celtic attack after attack was a big turning point.

17 Jun 2026 13:28:01
Broste, he did say the vast majority.

17 Jun 2026 13:28:57
I would have preferred we didn't have to change management though.

17 Jun 2026 13:32:00
PeterPan, you are right, if that's what happened but it wasn't. We still attacked, missed a great chance to go 3 up through Rommens, then Souttar got spooked by Maeda's pace through the middle, and he and the back line dropped back 10 yards, leaving too big a gap between the midfield and forwards, which allowed Celtic to get on the ball and dominate.

It was not the manager's plan.

17 Jun 2026 13:34:11
Never mind, guys, will just be a few months before you can be back insulting our next manager. Club just need to realise all the tactical genius sits in the stands and then they can stop looking for the perfect manager.

😉

It didn't work with Rohl as he didn't get time; only difference with him was another club came in and bought him from us instead of being sacked like every other coach/manager we have had since Gerrard.

17 Jun 2026 16:23:03
Fair do's, My Star - correct. Apologies to Stevie G required if he's clocked it. Read the 'we' in haste.
Not that I'm pedantic, but is McInnes what the vast majority want - genuine question and not based on a poll between McInnes and, say, Neil Lennon.

😄
If so, I must very well be in the minority - I can only see it as a major step backwards.

17 Jun 2026 17:06:47
Beale, thanks mate.

Broste, appreciate the follow up to apologise.

I'd say yes, the vast majority want Mccinnes now, sadly Klopp isn't available.

We need certain skills and attributes in the new manager, and Mccinnes ticks almost every single box. Just not enough trophies, but that will come.

He's served his apprenticeship and matured and gotten better as times gone on.

He's the perfect appointment imo.

17 Jun 2026 17:31:52
Np, Stevie G. Was due after all.
All about opinions after all. Hope you're correct.

17 Jun 2026 10:12:26
I'm on the train back to London watching The Open Goal interview with Derek McInnes, I'm not a huge fan of Si Ferry for numerous reasons but this is a really good interview with McInnes.

Not 1 I hope is repeated at The Rangers Training Centre.

Closed doors. Give them nothing, siege mentality!

NO ONE LIKES US WE don't CARE 🔴⚪️💙

17 Jun 2026 11:29:45
Iron, I listen to Ferry Slaney and Halliday all the time. I enjoy it. Ferry and Slaney are grade A bangers, but I still enjoy it.

17 Jun 2026 12:28:40
Agree, I can't say what I really think of them, but that interview with Ferry and McInnes was good. I've met Slane on a few occasions. He's on par with David Lammy for the UK's biggest idiot.

17 Jun 2026 10:04:06
Could Mbappe's celebration mean that Gazza's his idol and that he's coming to Rangers :)

17 Jun 2026 08:15:48
With all the headlines and rumours stating McInnes will be new manager these has been no official announcement as far as I know.
Is this a definite or is it just paper talk and gossip? Living here in NZ we are last to find out anything.

17 Jun 2026 08:42:58
All done apparently, just backroom team stuff holding things up.

17 Jun 2026 08:44:35
It's a definite Kiwi, we need to wait til RB S announce Rohl.

17 Jun 2026 09:00:34
Everything done Kiwi. 👍 The only thing that's holding up both announcements is Rangers and RBSalzburg in negotiations for Danny Rohl's backroom team, and once that's concluded, they'll officially appoint and unveil Danny Rohl as their new head coach, and we'll officially appoint and unveil Derek McInnes as our new manager/head coach.

👍 🇬🇧 It will be a domino effect when Rohl gets officially appointed first, then McInnes, and then Hearts will press ahead with appointing their new head coach. 🤔 🇬🇧

17 Jun 2026 10:00:40
Fingers crossed for whoever comes in that we actually have them for a few years, we simply cannot keep changing managers every year or so.
Is McInnes the right man??? Did well at Dons and Jam Tarts, seems to get best out of players but has also moved clubs a few times.


We need consistency and stability once again to, unfortunately, look to rebuild the squad again like we seem to do every window.
Initially, heard the announcement would be on Monday (UK time) but nothing as yet, seems like Groundhog Day again. 🙄

17 Jun 2026 10:27:14
Kiwi, I think the same. What happens if the clubs can't agree compensation for the backroom staff? Will Rohl then decide not to go? And what do we want, keep 2 staff that he took from them? I suspect it is all just about getting the right money for them, but until all of the deal is concluded, agreed and signed, things can go wrong.

17 Jun 2026 10:31:35
Fat chick, songs and such like.

17 Jun 2026 11:29:33
Sallsburg could still walk away.

17 Jun 2026 11:30:29
It's done now.

17 Jun 2026 11:48:03
Storm, all about the timing. They must have been waiting for my post to then release the news so I looked more silly than normal. 🙈

17 Jun 2026 11:50:15
We simply can keep sacking managers til we get the right one, same as the majority of teams do. Also no need for loose bladders. Dr and his clueless management team are gone, and good riddance.

17 Jun 2026 13:46:44
And how many of those majority of teams who keep sacking managers regularly win cups and leagues where they play? The majority of league winning managers last season had been at their clubs for more than 3 years (Areteta, Flick, Bosch, Enrique). There are exceptions, such as Kompany (1 year), but that is hardly a hard task. Others who were there for a year or so were at clubs who regularly win their leagues (Chivu at Inter).

Probably the exception was Porto, who hadn't won since 21/22.

So this myth that you just keep changing until someone wins isn't founded in reality. Most teams who constantly change go downhill. There will be exceptions, but, in the main, stability brings success.
