Rangers have appointed former Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl as their new head coach, with the 36-year-old German describing the role as a “huge privilege” at one of the world’s most storied clubs.
Rohl takes over following the dismissal of Russell Martin, whose 123-day tenure ended on October 5 after just 17 matches in charge. Rangers had also held talks with former manager Steven Gerrard and ex-defender Kevin Muscat before confirming Rohl’s appointment on Monday afternoon.

Speaking to the club’s website, Rohl expressed his pride and determination to turn the season around.
“It is a huge privilege at an incredible club, recognised around the world,” Rohl said.
“I know it has been a difficult start to the season, but there is still so much to play for.
“The expectations here are clear. The fans want to see results now — my mentality and experience are exactly the same. We have no time to waste; we start straight away. I respect that trust is earned, and we must give supporters confidence by showing it on the pitch from the start.”
Rangers currently sit sixth in the Scottish Premiership with just one win from eight games, and they will face Brann in the Europa League on Thursday.
Rohl previously managed Sheffield Wednesday from October 2023 to July 2025 and has held coaching roles with RB Leipzig, Southampton, Bayern Munich, and the German national team.
His appointment marks the beginning of a new chapter at Ibrox as the club looks to revive their domestic and European ambitions under Rohl’s leadership.
