Time up for Danny Rohl as Ibrox fan media turns on title bottler

There is one word guaranteed to anger Danny Rohl. Mentality.

It is the phrase used to sum up the constant failings of Ibrox squads.

Rohl knows that it is true. The players and fans know it as well.

But no one inside Ibrox dares to admit the truth.

In March 2020 James Tavernier confirmed in the club programme that him and his team-mates couldn’t deal with pressure.

A pandemic allowed that issue to fall by the wayside but a normal club would have ensured that Tavernier was quietly eased out the door.

Instead he has been captain in the six years since. A laughing stock among fans of every other club in the country.

Even the most staunch and loyal of bears reference him as Captain Disappointed. When he wasn’t given a Testimonial he was said to be disappointed, even more so when no new contract was offered.

Ibrox fan media outlets are the ultimate cheerleaders.

David Edgar runs Heart & Hand. On Twitter/X it appears as Ibrox Rocks, with over 100,000 followers. That is reach and influence.

ROHL REACHES THE END OF THE IBROX MANAGERIAL CYCLE

In return for some access they will head off to spread the message about how impressed they are with the latest manager to follow in the footsteps of Pedro Caixinha and Mark Warburton.

But they can’t fool their readers and listeners for long.

Fans can see a dud coining out a massive salary.

Wearing brogues and a blazer got Rohl off to a winning start. He wasn’t a vegan or Buddhist. He even got praised after losing 3-0 to Brann Bergen because he went over to apologise to the Union Bears.

Rohl didn’t try that stunt after the defeats to Motherwell and Hearts. He knows that he is out his depth.

All that is left to be decided is which result forces him out the door. With the pay-off for a contract that runs until May 2028.
