Röhl Set to Be Rangers Head Coach

Talks to appoint Kevin Muscat collapsed after he chose to remain at Shanghai Port to finish the Chinese Super League season and amid additional reported concerns about Rangers’ recruitment model and timeline. Rangers now look set to appoint Danny Röhl as head coach, with the 36-year-old — who has worked at RB Leipzig, Bayern and with Germany’s setup — believed to be travelling to Glasgow to finalise terms and an appointment expected imminently. The vacancy followed the dismissal of Russell Martin after a poor run of domestic and European results. The drawn-out search has provoked strong fan anger and criticism of CEO Patrick Stewart and director Kevin Thelwell, including accusations of nepotism over the appointment of Robbie Thelwell. Rangers say they have spoken to several candidates and are aiming to conclude the appointment within days.
