DANNY RÖHL RUTHLESSLY CALLS OUT ANOTHER RANGERS STAR WHO MUST GO THIS JANUARY AMID BITTER DRESSING ROOM FALLOUT.
DANNY RÖHL RUTHLESSLY CALLS OUT ANOTHER RANGERS STAR WHO MUST GO THIS JANUARY AMID BITTER DRESSING ROOM FALLOUT.
Tensions appear to be rising inside the Rangers camp as manager Danny Röhl has reportedly taken a hardline stance on underperforming players and one senior star could be the next to face the axe. According to sources close to Ibrox, the young German coach has grown increasingly frustrated with the attitude and commitment levels of certain individuals in the squad, just weeks after a heated fallout involving several first-team figures.
Röhl, who has earned widespread respect for his tactical acumen and no-nonsense leadership style since arriving in Glasgow, is said to have “ruthlessly called out” one particular player during a recent team meeting making it clear that those unwilling to meet his high standards will not have a future under him.
The incident reportedly took place after Rangers’ disappointing performance in their last league outing, which saw Röhl publicly question the mentality of his players. Insiders suggest the former Bayern Munich and Germany assistant manager singled out a senior figure whose performances and attitude in training have “not been good enough.”
While the identity of the player remains under wraps, reports hint that it could be a long-serving member of the squad whose influence in the dressing room has waned in recent months. Röhl’s decision to confront the issue head-on has divided opinion among supporters some praising his boldness, others fearing it could cause deeper unrest behind the scenes.One insider was quoted saying
Röhl has made it crystal clear no one is untouchable. If you don’t give everything for the badge, you won’t play. He’s trying to change the culture, and that means tough decisions.”
This latest development comes amid an already volatile atmosphere at Ibrox, following recent reports of disagreements between certain players and the coaching staff over tactics and playing time. Röhl’s emphasis on intensity, pressing, and tactical discipline has been welcomed by some of the younger players but appears to have unsettled a few senior pros who were used to a different style under previous managers.
Rangers’ inconsistent form this season has only added fuel to the fire. After a promising start under Röhl, the team has stumbled in recent weeks, slipping further behind Celtic in the title race and struggling to find rhythm in attack. The German coach, however, remains adamant that short-term pain is necessary for long-term success.
In his latest post-match press conference, Röhl didn’t shy away from his disappointment:
“I expect full focus and full effort every single day. At a club like Rangers, that is the minimum. If someone is not ready to meet that standard, we move forward without them.”
Those comments have been widely interpreted as a warning shot to the dressing room a clear signal that the January transfer window could bring significant changes. Reports suggest several fringe players are already being evaluated for potential exits, with Röhl determined to reshape the squad in his image.
Fans have reacted strongly online, with many backing the manager’s firm stance.
One supporter wrote: “It’s about time someone held these players accountable. Röhl’s not here to make friends he’s here to win.”
Another commented: “If they can’t handle the pressure, they can go. We need fighters, not passengers.”
Röhl’s uncompromising approach is reminiscent of the demanding culture he experienced under Julian Nagelsmann and Hansi Flick during his time in Germany. It’s clear he’s trying to instil that same elite mentality at Rangers even if it means clashing with established figures.
As the January window approaches, speculation is intensifying over who might be shown the door. One thing is certain: Danny Röhl isn’t afraid to make ruthless calls if it means restoring Rangers to the top of Scottish football.
The message from Ibrox is loud and clear perform, commit, or leave.
