Rangers manager update: Danny Rohl appointed head coach

After talks with Muscat fell through, Rohl’s name resurfaced, leading to his appointment on an initial two-and-a-half-year deal. The 36-year-old German expressed his excitement, stating, “It is a huge privilege at an incredible club, recognized around the world.” Rangers currently sit in sixth place in the Scottish Premiership, with one win from eight games and are set to face Brann in the Europa League.
