What Röhl Said About Celtic After Award Win – Celtic Fans Will NOT Like It One Bit! Old Firm Drama Reloaded 🔥

Rangers fans, this is the stuff dreams are made of. Danny Röhl, the German mastermind who stepped into Ibrox in October 2025 when we were stuck in sixth place and 13 points behind the leaders, has just claimed the Scottish Premiership Manager of the Month award for January 2026. Four league games played, four emphatic wins, 10 goals scored, and only one conceded. The crown jewel of that flawless month? A ruthless 3-1 comeback demolition of Celtic at their own Parkhead fortress on January 3rd.

Let that sink in for a second. Celtic went ahead early through Hyunjun Yang, Parkhead erupted, and the script looked set for another routine home win in the Old Firm. But Röhl’s Rangers showed spine, quality, and no fear. Youssef Chermiti equalized, then powered home the header to put us in front. Mikey Moore wrapped it up with a third that silenced the home crowd completely. By full time, Celtic Park was a graveyard of shattered expectations, while our away end was pure pandemonium. Coming from behind at Parkhead to win convincingly? That’s not just a result it’s a power shift, a statement, and the exact kind of performance that earned Röhl his deserved going

Röhl’s words since the award landed have only twisted the knife deeper for Celtic supporters. In Sky Sports interviews and reflections tied to the accolade, he kept it professional on the surface crediting the players, coaches, and staff tirelessly but the underlying message was unmistakable and brutal for the other side. “After the last win, we are close now and really strong,” he declared, pointing straight to that 3-1 Parkhead victory as proof. He doubled down: there’s now “very little between the sides,” and Rangers are operating at Celtic’s level. No hype, no exaggeration just cold, results-backed truth. Celtic fans have spent years lording it over us, claiming the derby was forever theirs. Now their biggest rival’s manager is calmly stating the gap has evaporated, and the league table backs him up: we’re level or ahead, with the momentum swinging decisively our way.

The head-to-head mockery is even sweeter when you stack the seasons side by side. Last season (2024-25), Celtic held the edge in the defining clashes. They battered us 3-0 at Parkhead in September, lifted the Scottish Cup after beating us in the final, and claimed the League Cup on penalties. We snagged a couple of league points 3-0 at Ibrox and a dramatic 3-2 at Celtic Park but they owned the psychological high ground, often making us look second-rate in the big ones.

This season (2025-26) under Röhl? The script has been torn to shreds. Premiership derbies so far: a hard-fought 0-0 draw at Ibrox in August, followed by the January masterclass 3-1 victory at Celtic Park. That’s unbeaten in league Old Firms this campaign: one draw, one dominant away win. (The League Cup semi in November went their way 3-1 after extra time, but league points hurt more and we’ve taken them where it counts.) Celtic’s aura of invincibility in derbies? Shattered in one January afternoon. Their fans can cling to that cup tie all they want, but the Premiership narrative is ours now, and that 3-1 at Parkhead remains the ultimate burn.

Röhl’s January perfection wasn’t just the Celtic scalp. It included commanding 2-0 wins over Aberdeen (home and away) and a 3-0 thrashing of Dundee. The team transformed from crisis to contenders overnight. Röhl arrived to doubt and low morale; now we’re breathing down the leaders’ necks (just three points behind Hearts in some snapshots, three clear of Celtic), playing with swagger, and building something unbreakable.

And here’s the part that really gets under Celtic skin: Röhl isn’t hiding his ambitions. While staying humble this award is for everyone at the club he’s openly fixed on the ultimate goal. He has his eyes firmly on the “bigger prize” of winning the Scottish Premiership title itself. In his own words after the award: the focus is on achieving what the club wants long-term, hoping for more monthly honors because that means “collectively we have achieved what we want to achieve here at Rangers.” He’s convinced the race runs to the final day (matchday 38), and Rangers have “everything” to push forward and claim it. No premature celebrations, but clear intent: the title is the target, and this resurgence sparked by humbling Celtic is the foundation.

Celtic fans can fume, deflect, or drown in denial whataboutery about old seasons won’t change January’s facts. The gap is gone. The balance of power has tilted. Under Danny Röhl, Rangers are organized, dangerous, mentally tough, and aiming straight for the crown. He knows tough tests loom (Motherwell away, Hearts next), but he also knows that 3-1 victory signaled we’re back as real contenders.

This is why every Gers fan is electric right now. From 13 points adrift to Manager of the Month, from Parkhead silence to title talk Röhl is delivering belief we haven’t felt in ages. Share this far and wide, let every blue-nose feel the pride, and let the other side stew a bit longer. The bigger prize is in sight. Believe. 💙⚪
