Rangers banter 2

12 Jun 2026 23:49:29
i see a few folk having a debate about whether Rohl has improved us.
league position yes he has football wise no he hasn't it.
we were dire to watch, the football experts said we would play better football when Rohl had more time on training field that wasn't true either.
he lost 4 out of the last 5 and he lost two cup games to Celtic
he is a failure plain and simple and will be glad to see the back of him.


i want a manager who will play good football that is not delboy and i don't want SG back either.
the man i have always wanted Knutsen i don't think we would get so i have no idea who it will be.

Storm, if Rohl does go we need an experienced manager that can win games not only by playing good football but being also able to win games ugly. 🤔 Like I said in a previous post this morning, after thinking long and hard, I honestly do think at this moment in time it's Derek McInnes who we need and should go for very obvious reasons and ticks all the boxes for me.

🤔 A manager that's very experienced and knows this Scottish league inside out, would bring much needed stability as McInnes would stay years at Rangers as long as he was successful and knows the Rangers expectations inside out. 👍 🇬🇧 He's what we absolutely need just now, for me, if Rohl does indeed depart. 🤔

We imploded when he got the extra time on the field with the team after we got knocked out of Europe.

I expected we'd kick on to another level. The opposite happened. Very strange.

Agree, we didn't look like we had an identity at any point in time. And losing 4 of our last 5 "cup finals" was probably a sacking offence anyway.

13 Jun 2026 08:35:05
Don't think we had players to play the good football he wanted. When he tried to fix the defence after Martin, we couldn't create, and when we tried to be more attacking, we didn't have the defence. Who knows with his own signings what he would have achieved. Looks like we'll never know. Think we'll regret losing him personally.

My only concern is getting a manager that will win the league, that has Derek McInnes written all over. His football isn't the worst either. It's getting made by them that don't want him for sounding better.

Hearing the only sticking point in the Mcinnes negotiations is that he's demanding EHL is back at Auchenhowie and the board are struggling to meet wages.

He's been very very quiet on here, which must mean he's busy in discussions there.

Ehl has been particularly quiet! Not like him.

Id take Reynolds. Watched him in international games played well.

13 Jun 2026 10:25:44
Burt?? He's too old, no re-sale value. What a 'tache though.

12 Jun 2026 21:49:51
First real post here, but going through another manager change feels like another mess.

Basically the brief for new guy is 'do another big rebuild in a very short space of time, with almost no time to work them in to a team. Most of these new players will probably be loans or young players with potential coming from smaller leagues but the expectation will be this works perfectly almost immediately (despite words about long term and patient at start). These new players will also be expected to 'carry the weight of the shirt' immediately and with little experience or any Rangers winners beside them (maybe consider some sort of potion for this? ). Aldo you might well have to sell a couple of the current better players late in the summer too. If this doesn't all work perfectly almost immediately significant sections of the fans will boo and slaughter the players, making it alleven harder. Good luck'

We're in an endless loop of this and it's making us worse. We need something to stick - even if it's painful for a while to get anywhere.

13 Jun 2026 01:37:19
I totally agree. If Rohl leaves we'll be in the exact same position as we were last summer. I actually think the squad was stronger prior to last summer's window. Also, we finished 3rd last season. So we haven't made progress under this new board yet; if anything, we've regressed.

They need to do better.

13 Jun 2026 02:03:24
Player trading model is now manager trading model.

If we get 5 million for Rohl, take it.

13 Jun 2026 05:24:42
Board's chance of not falling is now. Has to be DM or SG to get it right.

13 Jun 2026 06:16:07
Rmc, I wouldn't imagine any compo package for Danny Rohl would be as much as £5million mate. 🤔

13 Jun 2026 06:21:06
Paul-Gaz, the thing being, imo, if Derek McInnes was appointed Rangers head coach/manager, I think there absolutely would be stability there, as I honestly couldn't see Derek McInnes leaving Rangers for any other job, and think, depending if he was successful, I reckon he'd be here for a good few years.

🤔 That's why, after giving a bit of thought to this, I'd now lean to wanting Derek McInnes if Danny Rohl were to leave. 🤔 McInnes for me ticks every box for what we'd need as a head coach/manager, at this moment in time. 🤔🇬🇧

The actual compensation figure quoted on some Rangers forums is £6m, Sir Walter.

13 Jun 2026 09:09:44
I agree RohlWC, this rebuild is bigger than last year, and the squad is much worse apart from one or two potential stars. And now, we will have another manager needing time to learn about the club and what's needed.

12 Jun 2026 20:17:53
Look guys the only thing that matters is does DR want to leave if he does then he's no good to us. The last thing we need is a manager who's not all in 24/7.But if he wants to stay we need to know very quickly.

12 Jun 2026 21:55:20
He must be interested because they're having talks. If he wasn't there, would there be any talks?

13 Jun 2026 01:41:41
If Rangers accept a bid/compensation offer from another club, then you would expect the player or manager to have talks with that team. Sometimes talks can break down when it comes to personal terms.

I think the team that are interested in Rohl represent a fantastic opportunity for him.

They have a lot more money than us, and they believe in him as a coach. So I can see why he would prefer to work there instead of at Ibrox.

13 Jun 2026 08:21:02
Like many, I'm not fully convinced that Rohl has all the right attributes to succeed at Rangers. I don't see a Walter Smith in there. I think if he is tempted to go back to Germany where he is known and respected, then Rangers will keep marching with someone else.

Let me say one thing about McInnes though, he is a man who, if appointed, would be with us for many years. He's not tempted by anything outside of Scottish football and that's where we need to do well.

12 Jun 2026 21:05:43
Cornelius for Canada and Katic for Bosnia tonight. I'd take that next season. Don't think Cornelius got a fair shout.

12 Jun 2026 21:19:57
Not physical enough to be a CB in our league, and not good enough to be a full back. Also, nearly 30, so not much development in there.

12 Jun 2026 21:32:45
Another player I liked was Shuffleburg, who has just come on, never looked out of place in a Canadian team who were playing well at the time.

12 Jun 2026 21:36:32
Katic has been MOTM for me, but Kolasinac probably deserves it for that clearance and an assist.

12 Jun 2026 21:45:13
Neither good enough.

12 Jun 2026 21:57:33
The Bosnian keeper was one I mentioned on here a few weeks back. Out of contract this summer and would be a good replacement for Butland.

13 Jun 2026 00:57:24
On their own perhaps, with another great CH, but together it's a no for me. Would have Katic back, but Cornerluis no.

13 Jun 2026 01:43:21
We let Katic go, then brought in guys like Robbin Propper. I think Katic is a better player than Souttar. We should have kept Katic. Katic loved playing for Rangers too.

13 Jun 2026 07:02:06
I thought Cornerluis played well.
Last night.
