Danny Rohl Shares Rangers Player Dossier with Kevin Thelwell and Outlines Action Timeline

Danny Rohl, the new manager of Rangers, is actively assessing his squad using a unique color-coded system. Arriving from Germany, Rohl has set himself a timeline to evaluate players and implement necessary changes. He recently submitted a comprehensive dossier to sporting director Kevin Thelwell, detailing his findings and recommendations.

Danny Rohl’s Color-Coded Player Assessment

Upon his arrival in Glasgow, Rohl announced a three-week period for evaluating the first team. His dossier categorizes players into three groups based on their potential impact:

• Green: Players Rohl wants to retain and develop.
• Yellow: Players still under scrutiny who could improve.
• Red: Players deemed surplus to requirements.

Rohl emphasized the importance of this assessment during a recent press conference. He acknowledged that injuries may affect current evaluations and that this presents opportunities for players in the yellow or red categories to prove themselves.

Strategic Goals Ahead of the Transfer Window

As Rangers prepare for the January transfer window, Rohl is focused on strengthening the squad. He noted that this will require collaboration with Thelwell and emphasizes the need for impact players rather than just filling roster spots.

“In the best case, you win every game until January, reducing our workload,” Rohl commented. “However, we must identify and pursue quality players who can make an immediate difference.” He highlighted the challenge of sourcing such talent during the mid-season transfer period but remains optimistic due to ongoing dialogues with the board.

Set-Piece Coach Recruitment

To aid in tactical development, Rohl has also brought in set-piece specialist Scott Fry from Lincoln City. Recognizing the importance of set pieces—responsible for 30% of goals—Rohl believes Fry’s expertise will significantly benefit the team. “We have worked on both offensive and defensive set pieces,” he remarked.

Upcoming Match and Team Morale

Rangers are aiming for their fourth consecutive Premiership win against Livingston, as Rohl looks to elevate the team in the league standings. He has already started forging connections within the Scottish football scene, enjoying experiences such as attending the recent World Cup qualifier against Denmark.

“I feel like I’m settling in well after just four weeks in Glasgow,” said Rohl. “Being part of a team heading to the World Cup creates a positive atmosphere, and I’m excited about our future together.” With clear strategies and a refreshing approach, Rohl aims to lead Rangers back to prominence in Scottish football.
