It’s one of those thoughts that sneaks in when things start to feel a bit more stable at Ibrox. If Danny Röhl is doing a good job, and if Rangers start looking like a proper side again, you can guarantee other clubs will take notice. Bigger leagues have longer arms, bigger wages, and a habit of treating Scotland like a shop window.
But the truth is, there’s still a long way to go. We haven’t won anything yet. And that matters, because it changes the whole conversation from “this manager is the finished article” to “this manager is building something that still needs proof.” That’s not being negative, it’s just the reality of this club. Rangers managers don’t get remembered for good intentions. They get remembered for lifting trophies.
Backed this window, and it actually feels like it
The biggest reason I’m not panicking right now is the sense that Röhl is being backed by the owners in this window. When a manager feels supported, when he’s getting the tools he’s asked for, it’s harder to imagine him looking at an offer and thinking, “I need out.”
There’s also the feeling that he’s starting to become ingrained at Rangers already. Not just turning up, picking a team, and hoping for the best, but laying down a way of working that looks aimed at long-term success. That’s the sort of project managers generally want time to see through, especially when it’s a club with our size and expectation.
Is he really ready to jump to a top league?
Röhl is a young manager, and you’d expect ambition. You’d worry if he didn’t have it. But would he genuinely see himself as an EPL or Bundesliga manager right now? I’m not so sure. Those jobs come with a level of scrutiny, pressure, and demand that can swallow you if you land too early.
At Rangers, he’s got a massive opportunity: build credibility, develop as a coach, and deliver success. And if you do it here, it carries weight because the demands are constant. Every week matters, every draw gets questioned, and you’re expected to handle Europe and domestic football in the same breath.
Football changes fast, but the timeline feels fair
Of course, it’s football. Anything can happen, and Rangers fans know better than most that plans can get ripped up quickly. If a big offer lands, you can’t pretend it’s impossible.
But right now, if you’re asking me where this is headed, I’d say he’s here for at least the next couple of seasons. That feels like the natural timeline for what he’s trying to build. And honestly, I hope he is, because Rangers don’t just need a good manager. We need continuity, a clear direction, and someone who actually gets the scale of the job.
