“Rangers Are Finished: Danny Rohl’s ‘Project’ Is Falling Apart at the Worst Possible Time”

For a club the size of Rangers F.C., another season without silverware isn’t just disappointing anymore.  It’s becoming a habit fans are sick of watching.

Since clawing their way back to the Scottish Premiership in 2016, Rangers have now spent most of the last decade watching other teams celebrate trophies while chaos, excuses and “rebuilding projects” continue at Ibrox. And after that damaging defeat to Heart of Midlothian F.C. on Monday, the reality hit hard: another season is slipping away with nothing to show for it.

Now the pressure on Danny Rohl is exploding.

Sunday’s Old Firm clash against Celtic F.C. suddenly feels less like a title race and more like a survival test for Rangers’ pride. Former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday didn’t sugarcoat it either — according to him, Rangers’ biggest “trophy” now might simply be stopping Celtic from winning the league.

Rohl publicly rejected that idea, insisting his players are “focused on themselves,” but fans aren’t buying speeches anymore. They want results. And right now, results in the biggest moments are exactly where Rangers keep collapsing.

What’s making supporters even angrier is how avoidable some of these failures look.

Questions are being asked everywhere about Rohl’s decisions over the last two games. Leaving out Mikey Moore against Motherwell — despite being arguably Rangers’ most dangerous player this season — baffled supporters before kick-off. Then when Motherwell took control, Rangers looked tactically frozen while Rohl stood searching for answers.

It got worse against Hearts.

Rangers controlled the first half, looked comfortable, and then completely fell apart the second Hearts tweaked their midfield. Derek McInnes made one adjustment, brought on Blair Spittal, and suddenly Rangers had no answers, no control, and no fight.

Rohl later blamed poor movement and a failure to identify the “free man” under pressure,  a tactical explanation that may impress analysts, but to furious Rangers fans it sounded like another clever excuse after another huge failure.

And this is where things are starting to turn ugly.

The honeymoon period around Rohl is fading fast. Yes, he dragged Rangers back into the title race after taking over from Russell Martin, and yes, he improved several struggling players. But supporters are now looking at the bigger picture: poor results in major games, cup exits to Celtic, defeats at Tynecastle, and a team that repeatedly crumbles when pressure rises.

For all the talk about “new standards,” Rangers are still ending seasons the same old way  empty-handed.

Rohl himself admitted the club has spent the last 15 years failing to win what it should. That honesty may be refreshing, but fans have heard promises before. At Rangers, nobody gets remembered for “processes,” tactical theories or encouraging signs.

You either win trophies… or the pressure eventually swallows you whole.
