NafisaDanny Rohl will stay in charge of Rangers next season no matter what unfolds against Celtic on Sunday.
That’s according to Scottish journalist Scott Burns, who insists a poor result at Parkhead on May 10 will not impact the German coach’s future at Ibrox.
Rohl’s position at Rangers has faced growing scrutiny in recent weeks, with supporters and pundits debating whether he is the right man to guide the club into next season.
The 37-year-old has watched the Gers’ William Hill Premiership title hopes fade after successive defeats against Hearts and Motherwell.
Andrew Cavenagh appears firmly committed to backing Rohl, and attention will now turn towards how the Glasgow club supports him in the transfer market this summer.
Danny Rohl has earned enough credit at Rangers:
Writing in the Daily Record on May 9, Burns addressed suggestions that defeat in the Old Firm derby could damage Rohl’s future.
He said: “No, my understanding is that regardless of what happens, Danny Rohl is expected to be the Rangers manager next season.”
When Russell Martin departed his role at Ibrox, very few would have expected Rangers to still be involved in the title race heading into May.
The former Sheffield Wednesday boss has undoubtedly brought structure and tactical intelligence to the club, putting together a 15-match unbeaten streak in the William Hill Premiership.
Regardless of what sections of the support in G51 may think, Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises have clearly seen enough from the German coach to believe he can eventually deliver success in Glasgow.
The Gers are facing a huge summer rebuild, but before then, Rohl will be determined to finish the campaign strongly in order to calm tensions among the support heading into the off-season.
Danny Rohl remains focused on Ibrox future:
Rohl has recently been linked with the VfL Wolfsburg job, but the German manager remains fully concentrated on restoring success at Rangers.
The former Owls boss is eager to bring trophies back to G51, and many would argue he has already laid important foundations to achieve that at Ibrox.
What has hurt the Light Blues this season has been their inability to get over the line when it mattered most, although Rohl will likely believe those mistakes can be corrected moving forward.
The relatively young manager has been thrown into one of the most demanding jobs in Scottish football, and time will tell whether he can guide the Govan side back to the summit once again.
