Danny Rohl says there is no doubt over his Rangers future, insisting he has had “unbelievable” support from the board in the last 48 hours even as reports continue to suggest the club’s directors are split over his tenure. The Rangers boss, who arrived in Scotland less than a year ago, was speaking after a bruising spell in which title hopes crumbled against Hearts and Celtic.
Rohl’s comments land at a tense moment for the club, with speculation growing around his position and Football Insider reporting that he would be ready to quit Rangers if another job came up. That kind of uncertainty is exactly what follows a bad run at Ibrox, where the size of the job means silverware is treated less as a hope than a requirement, and where every drop-off invites a sharper look at the man in charge.
Asked about the pressure on him, Rohl gave a firm answer. “I think the last 48 hours, there was unbelievable support from the board,” he said, adding: “Everyone around me sees a lot of positive things, but we are also critical of ourselves.” He then brushed aside speculation over his position, saying: “I think there’s no question mark.”
What makes the situation more delicate is the next stage of Rangers’ rebuild. James Tavernier is leaving after 11 years, and Rohl said the captain’s departure is “a big signal” for the club. “We need new leaders, more leaders for the dressing room, to set our standards that we want on the training pitch, in difficult moments in the game,” he said. “I think this is crucial. This is a great opportunity to work on this.”
That challenge comes on top of the collapse in Rangers’ title push, a run that has already deepened scrutiny on the boardroom as well as the dugout. Reports of a split among directors have only fed the noise around the club, but Rohl said the focus inside should be on what comes next. “The most important thing is it is what I have said many times, we have to take all the information and what we need into the new season,” he said.
Former Manchester United coach Mick Brown has also added to the chatter, saying Rohl has a strong reputation and noting that clubs had looked at him before he took the Rangers job. Brown said Championship sides wanted him and that a move back to Germany had been discussed, while adding that the idea could come up again. He went further, saying he would not be shocked if Rohl walked away and took another job.
For now, Rohl is still in place and speaking like a manager planning the next season, not an exit. But the mix of boardroom doubt, a failed title chase and Tavernier’s departure has left Rangers at a turning point, and the next appointment, signing or result will say a lot about whether this is a reset or the start of something more unsettled.
