“I Can’t See Him Put On a Rangers Shirt Anymore” Fans Speechless as New Boss Danny Röhl Ends Club Legend’s Three-Year Rangers Career After 3–1 Celtic Humiliation

Rangers’ Scottish Premiership semi-final at Hampden Park ended in disaster as Celtic claimed a 3–1 victory that sent their fierce rivals out of the competition. The loss shattered Rangers’ hopes of reaching the final and left new head coach Danny Röhl visibly furious in his six-minute post-match interview that has since gone viral among supporters.

The manager, appointed only week ago, arrived at Ra seeking a defining result to mark the start of a new era. Instead, his side looked unorganised, uninspired, and overrun by a Celtic team that dominated every major moment of the match. Röhl’s reaction afterward made it clear he had seen enough.

When he appeared in front of the media shortly after the final whistle, his tone was calm but cold. Within six minutes, his brief interview would change the mood  entirely and effectively end the Rangers career of defender John Souttar.

Celtic Dominate at Hampden

The match itself followed a familiar script. Celtic took control early and struck first in the 25th minute when James Kenny punished a defensive mistake to give his side a deserved lead. Rangers struggled to build momentum, constantly losing possession under pressure.

A penalty converted by James Tavernier in the 81st minute gave the Ibrox side a lifeline, but Celtic responded ruthlessly. Callum McGregor restored the lead with a powerful long-range strike in stoppage time before Cameron Osmand sealed the result in the 109th minute after another defensive lapse.

As Celtic celebrated in front of their fans, the Rangers players stood in disbelief. The body language was flat, the energy drained, and Röhl’s expression said it all.

Röhl’s Explosive Six-Minute Interview

Minutes later, Röhl walked into the interview area at Hampden with a visibly tense posture. What followed was one of the most direct and uncompromising post-match statements from a Rangers manager in years.

Speaking slowly and deliberately, Röhl began by saying, “This performance was not acceptable for a club like Rangers. I saw fear. I saw hesitation. And that cannot continue.”

He refused to blame tactics or refereeing decisions, instead pointing at his own squad. “We lost every key battle. When the pressure came, we did not respond. That tells me everything I need to know about who can handle this shirt.”

Asked whether certain players had let him down, Röhl paused for several seconds before replying, “Some players have been here for years. They know the demands. But if they cannot meet those demands, I have to make decisions. That is my job.”

Those words sent shockwaves through the press room. Within hours, reports confirmed that Röhl’s comments were directed primarily at John Souttar, whose defensive errors had contributed to two of Celtic’s goals.

Röhl concluded the interview with a clear statement about the future. “I am here to build a new Rangers. Every player must prove they belong. The badge is not enough. The past means nothing if you cannot perform in moments like today.”

He then stood up, thanked the interviewer, and walked away without taking further questions. The interview lasted precisely six minutes but its consequences were immediate.

Souttar’s Fate Sealed

According to club insiders, Röhl informed the board later that evening that John Souttar would no longer be part of his plans. By Sunday morning, the decision was confirmed internally. Souttar, who joined from Hearts in 2022, had endured a mixed three-year spell marked by injuries and inconsistency.

His removal from the squad was described as “swift and final.” Röhl reportedly told the player privately that he respected his service but could not trust him to perform at the level required. The message was simple: his Rangers career was over.

The combination of the Hampden defeat and Röhl’s no-nonsense interview dominated social media through the evening. Supporters expressed a mixture of shock, frustration, and admiration for the new manager’s honesty.

One fan wrote, “I can’t see him put on a Rangers shirt anymore. That was the last straw.”

Another added, “Röhl’s interview was hard to hear but it’s exactly what this club needs. No more excuses.”

Some supporters, however, felt the manager’s comments were too harsh, arguing that Souttar had given everything despite constant injury battles.

For Danny Röhl, the six-minute interview at Hampden Park may become a defining moment in his early Rangers tenure. It signaled that reputations no longer matter and that accountability will be enforced regardless of seniority.

He has since told the club hierarchy that he intends to rebuild the defence during the January window, bringing in players who can match his demands for intensity and composure.

For John Souttar, the result marked a painful end to three years at Ibrox. For the fans, it marked the beginning of something new, a manager unafraid to speak plainly and make hard decisions.

As one supporter wrote after watching the interview clip, “It hurts, but finally someone has the courage to say what needed to be said.”
