Rohl on staying in charge, board backing & summer of change

Danny Rohl has been speaking to the media before Rangers host Hibs in the Premiership on Wednesday. Rohl insists he will definitely still be Rangers head coach next season and says the criticism he is facing is a "motivation to do it better and find solutions". Rohl says it is "normal" he is facing questions on his future after losing "three games in an important time of the year".

Danny Rohl has sent a clear message to Rangers fans ahead of Wednesday's Premiership clash with Hibs: he's not going anywhere. Despite a tough run of form that has seen the Ibrox side slip to third place, the German boss insists he will definitely be at the helm next season—and he's treating the criticism as fuel.

"The last 48 hours were unbelievable," Rohl said, reflecting on the support he's received from the board and those around him. "Everyone around me is seeing a lot of positive things. But we are also critical of ourselves. I think there's no question mark."

It's been a dramatic swing in fortunes. Just over two weeks ago, the stadium was chanting Rohl's name as Rangers pushed for silverware. Now, after three consecutive defeats at a crucial stage of the season, questions are being asked. The German, however, isn't shying away. "It's normal that I'm facing questions after losing three games in an important time of the year," he admitted. "But this criticism is a motivation to do it better and find solutions."

Looking ahead, Rohl is planning a summer of significant change. He's made it clear that Rangers need to bring in quality players—and more leaders—to set standards both on and off the pitch. "The team must be very strong, and for this we need different profiles," he explained. "We are very clear in which direction we want to move forward."

Rohl is optimistic that the club's owners will back him in the transfer market, having already invested heavily. "I cannot guarantee you how much, but I can guarantee you that they are really open to go again forward," he said. "They see the potential at the moment. They see what we missed and what we can do with the right signings."

On the pitch, Rangers are also taking action off it. The club is unhappy with refereeing decisions from the recent Old Firm derby—believing Celtic's equaliser should have been ruled offside and that Alistair Johnston should have been sent off for a challenge on Mikey Moore. Conversations with the Scottish FA are ongoing.

For now, Rohl is focused on turning things around. "Maybe 16 days ago the full stadium was in my name, and at the moment it's a bit less," he reflected. "But I understand the big disappointment, especially when you come so close to a point where everyone believes we can win something, and then you drop like this. It's hard—but we will find solutions."
