Rangers banter 4

12 Jun 2026 15:27:18
Why is everyone thinking SG for our new manager.

1, DR is still our manager.

2, SG is he not at the world cup and to be part of the pannel for the english games along with rio.

3, who would the fans want as manager if DR leaves?

12 Jun 2026 17:40:36
SG is not doing punditry apparently.

12 Jun 2026 15:09:17
Just read Van Bronckhorst just been let go from Liverpool, i wouldn't mind giving him another go with the right backing rather than Gerrard or Muscat.

12 Jun 2026 17:36:45
The football he played domestically was terrible!

Couldn't see us over the line with a 9 point lead, and actually ended up losing the league by an enormous margin (can't remember exact numbers).

He did give us the best nights in Europe I can remember though, but that can't overlook the league form.

12 Jun 2026 17:46:16
Sure I read somewhere that Gio is in line for a role at Feyenoord.

12 Jun 2026 18:03:50
He had James Sands and King at CB. Prime Jose couldn't get a time out of that. 😂

12 Jun 2026 21:21:57
The team he had was good enough to get the Europa League final!

12 Jun 2026 15:09:12
Don't really want DR to leave although he didn't eventually do a great job i was happy to give him a preseason and his own players in. If he goes I've a strong feeling that the board will go for Gerrard. I think the majority of fans would take this as I really can't think of any outstanding candidates and that includes Macinnes.

12 Jun 2026 15:59:39
I won't. Of course I'll support him. I didn't think he did great first time round, ok he got that vital win but he will not get 3 years this time round. He will be measured (or should be) the exact same way as every manager that came in after he left.

Indeed, even maybe more so, since according to every SG supporter on here, he gets the club, knows the league etc etc.

12 Jun 2026 16:15:13
I don't know how you can't see he done a good job, going from being struggling for top 6 to being in with a chance going into the last 5 games. Yes, we didn't finish well, but was always going to be a stretch.

12 Jun 2026 16:35:33
We would've climbed the table with almost any manager. If Nancy never took over O'Neill, Celtic would've won the league by 10+ points. We got back in it because Celtic let us back in it. Then when we had a chance he took us on a jolly abroad even though it's failed in the past.

12 Jun 2026 16:44:28
Any team coming back in is partly due to the other team.

12 Jun 2026 18:14:28
Every Nancy there is a Martin, so basically if my aunt had b***.

12 Jun 2026 13:30:01
Unsure who I would want as our new manager but what about Gio returning.

12 Jun 2026 14:45:08
Was just thinking the same thing. All this chat about the return of Gerard, when I'd argue Gio is the more accomplished manager. I'd consider him.

12 Jun 2026 14:46:41
I think it's going to be virtually impossible to find a manager that will inspire the same volume of Users Names that Rohl inspired.

For that reason alone, I hope he stays.

12 Jun 2026 15:02:24
I think he will stay EHL. 🤔🇬🇧

12 Jun 2026 15:10:59
Don't you be thinking too hard, SWS, or you'll end up with a sore head.

12 Jun 2026 15:18:03
Coops, why do you think that? He will be off, mate.

12 Jun 2026 15:19:09
Think he will be away.

12 Jun 2026 15:19:33
Gerrard beat the worst Celtic side in 25 years with no pressure from fans and bottled everything else and also let's us in the poo. He won't be Rangers manager again and that to me is perfection.

12 Jun 2026 15:34:13
Get the impression a couple of posters aren't happy at Rohl's departure and in denial!! Best he leaves. 👍 🇬🇧

12 Jun 2026 16:06:54
Ryan, he also beat Ang. Gerrard had the beating of Celtic.

12 Jun 2026 16:34:18
Celtic won 2 trebles in the 3 years Gerrard was here.
But let's celebrate the fact he had the beating of them. And is that true?
2018 - W2 L2
2019 - W1 L2
2020 - W4 L1
2021 - W1, then walked out to oblivion and flopped everywhere else.

12 Jun 2026 16:38:28
My star, he got a scrappy 1-0 against Ang in a difficult start for him. Then he did amazing.

12 Jun 2026 16:51:37
So 8 to 5 then Mph, we can only wish all our previous managers had that record against them. I'm not wanting Gerrard back, but I know he had the beating of that lot.
Maybe was scrappy, Ryan, we had our keeper and caption missing through Covid, and Gerrard.

12 Jun 2026 16:57:57
Counting 2018 and 2019, so Celtic had one win in Gerrard's last couple of years.

12 Jun 2026 17:16:41
So, you would rather win individual games against Celtic than you would trophies, MyStar.
That is the problem with some Rangers fans.

12 Jun 2026 17:40:38
Going by your stats, it is absolutely true!

Played them 13 times and won 8 - pretty decent, I would say, given the squad he inherited.

12 Jun 2026 18:13:08
Nope, Mph, beat them constantly the trophies with come, fgs man lol.

12 Jun 2026 18:16:52
As seen when beating them 3 times out of 4 and we didn't lose any game in the league, sure we won the league very easily with 25 points, Mph.

12 Jun 2026 18:17:58
Ryan, we were undefeated and conceded 15 goals. Playing Celtic has never lost us or won us the league in decades. It's the results against the rest that's blew it, so tell a Celtic fan they have only won a league because we were crap. 🤷🏼‍♂️

12 Jun 2026 22:20:33
Hearts against Celtic this season
W2 D1 but lost the one that mattered.
Rangers against Celtic this season.
W1 D2 L1 but 10 points behind this season.
So even turning the L and 2x D into wins we would still have finished 3 points behind.
But you clutch away at those straws, MyStar.

12 Jun 2026 22:45:00
Mph, I agree. Whilst I don't like losing to Celtic, I would rather lose every game against them and win the league. And, the stats show how unimportant these games are to do that.

12 Jun 2026 23:53:11
I don't want to go back to Gerrard, but you'll never hear me slag the guy who has won us our only title in 15 years and stopping that lot getting ten in a row, which actually now would be 15 in a row but for him, we didn't lose one match and won it by 25 points but it was all because no fans were there? Utter drivel - yes he should've won more and I don't think we should go back but have never understood the bad feeling on here for him - he raised and demanded standards and built a team that went to a European final after inheriting a squad of absolute garbage.

12 Jun 2026 12:34:28
Plettenberg reckons RB Liepzeig might bin there Head Coach now as well. Danny might have 2 options 🤷🏼‍♂️

12 Jun 2026 14:30:05
McInnes to Leipzig!

12 Jun 2026 15:01:54
Hearts would happily let McInnes go anywhere for the right compensation, Bloom has shown that at Brighton, his model doesn't rely on the Head Coach or Manager.

12 Jun 2026 15:03:13
It's Gerrard to Leipzig EHL. 🤔

12 Jun 2026 15:22:10
Walter, is it coincidence that Gerrard, who's been booked for punditry a lot since his return to the UK, is not part of the BBC or ITV World Cup group? Ex England captain, 114 caps, played in 3 World Cups, respected globally, you'd think they'd want him before many of the others? Maybe he couldn't be bothered. 🤷🏼‍♂️

12 Jun 2026 16:12:28
Exactly what I said, Iron. Gerrard isn't booked for anything when he usually speaks volumes tbh.

12 Jun 2026 16:26:43
Iron, I thought he is part of the TNT team. He has been on social media doing some punditry before it, so just thought he would be in States to do that.

12 Jun 2026 16:55:47
TNT aren't showing games to my knowledge, mate. McCoist works for TNT and is on ITV? Maybe he's on holiday and didn't want to commit for a month.

12 Jun 2026 22:45:56
Iron, correct. I saw he was doing predictions online so thought he was a pundit. My bad.

12 Jun 2026 10:29:02
After taking a bit of time to think things through here's my list of who i'd like to come in and in order.

1. Derek McInnes
2. Kevin Muscat
3. Alex Neil

The reason I've put McInnes top are as follows:

Gets the maximum out of his teams predominantly and has shown ability to improve individuals.

Punches up a lot due to the above.

Fan of the club and knows the league inside out.

Was recommended our god Walter.

Plays a 2 striker system which would be massive for us with our options up top.

Wins even if it's not pretty.

Hurts Hearts and derails their pre-season.

Has previously worked with Barron, Shankland and a certain midfielder we'd all like to bring in from Bologna.

Wouldn't need time to find his feet and will set standards from day 1.

Has seen our team play and will know who is and isn't up to it quicker than someone who hasn't seen much of us.

12 Jun 2026 12:50:57
Do we really want to hurt Hearts, the whole league is crying out for teams that can take points off us and them.

12 Jun 2026 12:54:08
Smith told him not to take it, the time was wrong.

12 Jun 2026 13:07:33
In a competitive environment there is no space for sentiment.

I done martial arts from the age of 5 till I was 21 and then suffered ligament damage ending it. I won for 2 years straight, every competition. Was in the Scotland squad, Britain squad, future Olympic squad, and I can assure you I didn't care or want anyone else winning. I often fought Rickie Little (and won 😂) who was a CB for Arbroath recently as a nice wee added note.

I take credit for his professional football career. 😂

From a neutral point of view, yeah it's nice to have variety, but if we want a team with a winning mentality then we need to adopt the same and be relentless, always looking for that next 1% improvement.

12 Jun 2026 13:29:15
You only have a better product by having better teams. In the league, nothing to do with not wanting to win everything. Infact having better competition often drives you to be better as well.

Whilst not as athletic as you, I was fairly good at pub league pool and I more often got beat by poor players than I did by good players, simply because I went in to the game believing I didn't need to try as hard.



Playing risky shots that I wouldn't do against better players etc.

So yah I strongly believe you do better if your competition is better too.

12 Jun 2026 13:43:12
Nah that's a fair point, Geesadodothat. Completely respect that. I sometimes performed better against better fighters, but sometimes nerves (especially earlier in my years) would get in the way. I think I was always fine against fighters I knew weren't that good, but could be misremembering that (wee bit of confirmation bias).

I agree about the better product, and at the end of the day I'm only saying it would hurt their preseason.

It wouldn't destabilise them. If we want a better product, I could argue we shouldn't have took Shankland and shouldn't be after Luke Graham, whilst Celtic shouldn't have took McCowan off Dundee, and nobody should touch Just, Watt, etc. Whilst I'm picking holes, I will admit I completely see and respect your point, just think it's deeper than taking a manager or player hurts the league.

12 Jun 2026 14:55:47
Back on topic, Muscat just isn't the answer. He shouldn't even be getting a mention.

12 Jun 2026 15:03:18
I'd like Alex Neil, but he's a big big Celtic fan. It doesn't really mean anything, as no doubt he'd be professional, but sometimes there's people like myself who, even in profession, just couldn't pull on that opposition jersey.

12 Jun 2026 15:04:28
Why's that, DTB? 🤔 Just asking, mate. 🤔 We all have our opinions.

12 Jun 2026 15:32:21
I'm not having a Celtic fan manage Rangers!

Not a chance, Sam. Professional or not. And our fan base is on edge after last season appointing a Celtic fan would be the silliest thing they could do.



He's not for us. I'm not overly keen on many who've been mentioned. Big decision if Rohl leaves cause Rangers could just say no if they really wanted to keep him.

12 Jun 2026 16:55:18
Aye, Neil would definitely be a no no.

12 Jun 2026 11:07:26
As I keep saying

I don't think Rohl is going anywhere
Now when are some players being announced 😁.

12 Jun 2026 12:05:09
Julaugust I heard, possibly Septober. 😉

12 Jun 2026 12:38:05
Rohl's away. He's agreed terms, and clubs are just sorting out compensation now. Expect to be announced by the club relatively soon.

12 Jun 2026 12:44:48
Fourlads, correct mate.

12 Jun 2026 13:37:48
Fourlads, I agree with Thestigno1. 🤔 I don't think Danny Rohl is going anywhere. 🤔

12 Jun 2026 13:46:48
Been told that from several sources very close to the club. This has been in the pipeline for weeks. Rohl is away.

12 Jun 2026 14:08:59
There's also a lot of people saying Rohl does not want away and is not instigating this at all. The Rangers Review, Stevie Clifford, and EHL on here.

12 Jun 2026 14:20:06
I would tend to believe Stevie Clifford, Fourlads. 🤔 Danny Rohl ain't wanting away. 🤔

12 Jun 2026 14:30:25
Feel free to believe who you want. I trust my various sources that have told me he's away. It's been in the pipeline for weeks, and it's best for all parties.

12 Jun 2026 15:05:18
John says he wants to leave, and the way things are panning out, I know who I believe.

12 Jun 2026 15:06:35
Well Fourlads, we'll find out who's correct in due time, my friend. 🤔 🇬🇧

12 Jun 2026 15:07:31
Fourlads, if they've told you Rohl's away, who's the new manager? 🤔

12 Jun 2026 15:26:46
Walter, you asked me the exact same question yesterday. I told you who it's between. 🙈😂😂😂

12 Jun 2026 15:43:26
This isn't a surprise to the club, things have been moving for a few months and I believe it's now just down to announcements. Rohl is away and from what I've heard, Gerrard has had positive talks.

12 Jun 2026 17:09:51
Seeker, I have been wrong before, and certainly will be wrong again.

Scotty, good post.
