Put bluntly: the squad needs work and expecting wholesale change without backing would be daft. A number of loans and expiring contracts mean we’ll be down men next season, and that leaves the boss with a proper job to do — not a short-term panic.

Skov and the right wing question

I watched Skov in Denmark and early in Belgium and thought he had the profile to fix our right flank. To be fair, I wanted him to be the answer. But what I’m seeing at Ibrox looks different to the player I remembered. He hasn’t shown himself in the big moments for us, and to be honest he didn’t always deliver under pressure for Denmark either. That does make you wonder if he’s the kind of player who can cope with the weight of playing for Rangers.

Loans, contracts and a looming hole in the squad

Look at the list: Meghoma, Djiga, Cornielious, Aarons, Skov, Moore — all loans winding down. Add Tav and Matondo out of contract and you’re talking about losing eight players straight away. That’s a chunk of the roster and it isn’t just depth gone; it’s structure, rhythm and options that need replacing.

Who should realistically be moved on — and why Danny deserves time

Then there are the others people name who probably should leave: Diomande, Raskin, Aasgaard, Bajrami, Antman, Sterling, Gassama, Miovski, plus the out-of-contract Bailey Rice and potential interest around Fernandez. Some are not delivering, some are too injury-prone, others simply don’t fit the shape. That’s easily another ten players who could be moved on.

So yes, the scale is big. Eighteen is probably optimistic but it shows the job in front of us. Given that, I’d give Danny a chance to rebuild properly rather than sacking and starting again. He needs backing in the window to replace bodies and bring players who suit the club, and he should be judged on that summer work rather than a short-term wobble.
