Danny Röhl Delivers Brutal Post-Match Verdict: Following the 2:2 Draw Danny Röhl publicly blames one player he says doesn’t deserve the shirt at all

Rangers left Tannadice Park with a 2–2 draw that felt far more dramatic than the final score suggested. What should have been remembered for the late equaliser and flashes of resilience quickly became overshadowed by an explosive post-match outburst from manager Danny Röhl. His comments about underperforming striker have now rippled through the club and ignited fierce debate among supporters.

It all began poorly for Rangers when Dundee struck early. Z. Sapsford reacted quickest to a loose ball and scored in the eleventh minute, leaving the travelling support stunned. Rangers managed to settle and equalised through J. Meghoma in the twenty-third minute after good build-up play down the left side. For a moment, it appeared that the match might tilt back in their favour.

But Dundee continued to find openings. Their direct, energetic approach caused Rangers significant trouble, and the frustration on Röhl’s face was clear. When A. Fatah put Dundee back in front in the sixty-sixth minute after a swift counterattack, the concern among Rangers supporters grew louder. The team pushed relentlessly, but it took until the ninety-eighth minute for N. Bajrami to convert a dramatic penalty to rescue a point.

The relief was real, but it could not hide the deeper issues. Rangers looked disjointed, particularly in the final third, where Chermiti struggled throughout the match. His pressing lacked intensity, his movement appeared hesitant, and several promising attacks collapsed around him. The travelling supporters grew clearly frustrated, shouting his name in anger as the second half unfolded.

What came next confirmed just how tense the situation had become.

Inside the press room, Röhl walked in with a hardened expression. Within seconds, the tone of the entire night changed. What followed was one of the most intense post-match interviews of his Rangers tenure, and it quickly became the focal point of the entire evening.

Full Post-Match Interview

Interviewer: Danny, a dramatic match tonight, but your reaction at full time suggested you were far from satisfied. How do you sum up the performance?

Röhl: The fight was there in moments, but the consistency was not. We should never be chasing the game twice. At Rangers, that is unacceptable.

Interviewer: Your team did show spirit to get a late equaliser. Does that give you any encouragement?

Röhl: It shows we have players with heart. Some of them pushed until the final second. But spirit alone cannot cover the gaps created earlier in the match.

Interviewer: You looked particularly frustrated on the touchline. Was it tactical issues or individual performances that annoyed you most?

Röhl: A bit of both. Some players followed instructions. Some didn’t. When that happens, the whole team feels the consequences.

Interviewer: You mentioned after the match that one player dragged down the whole team. Are you willing to clarify that?

Röhl: Everyone saw the game. Everyone heard the fans. I will always protect my players when they give everything. When they don’t, I won’t hide it. Today, Chermiti simply did not meet the level required.

Interviewer: What exactly disappointed you in his performance?

Röhl: Effort. Intensity. Decision-making. Rangers play with aggression, hunger and responsibility. I didn’t see enough of that from him and it affected our structure and our pressing. That is the truth.

Interviewer: Some will say calling out a player publicly is risky. Do you stand by your approach?

Röhl: Absolutely. Standards matter here. If I pretend everything is fine, I am lying to the fans and lying to the club. Honesty is the first step to improvement.

Interviewer: The supporters were shouting his name in frustration. Did that influence your comments?

Röhl: No. The fans react to what they see. I react to what I see as well. They deserve honesty. If I’m ashamed to face them after a performance like that, then I have to say it.

Interviewer: Can Chermiti come back from this?

Röhl: That is entirely up to him. He has talent. But talent means nothing without commitment. If he wants to stay here and succeed, he must change quickly.

Interviewer: Will he still be part of the squad next week?

Röhl: We will evaluate everything. Right now, everyone must show what they are willing to give. The shirt is not a gift. It’s something you earn every day.

Interviewer: Finally, what message do you want to send to the Rangers supporters after this emotional match?

Röhl: I thank them for their passion. I know they expect fight and pride from their team. Many players gave that today. Some didn’t. We will fix it. And I promise them this: the standard will rise.

Outside Tannadice Park, fans reacted with the same raw emotion they had shown in the stands. Many felt Röhl had simply voiced what they had been feeling for weeks. Some described his comments as a necessary wake-up call. Others worried about the potential fallout inside the dressing room. But almost everyone agreed that the situation surrounding Chermiti had reached a breaking point.

Despite the late equaliser, the match felt less like a point earned and more like a moment that could reshape the squad. Rangers showed fight, but Röhl made it painfully clear that fight alone is not enough. His words signalled a shift in tone, a new level of expectation and a reminder that wearing the Rangers shirt comes with weight and responsibility.

As the club moves forward, the question is no longer simply how Rangers will respond in the next match. The real question is whether this fiery night at Tannadice Park becomes the moment that changes the trajectory of the team completely.
