Rangers fans MUST be patient and BACK Danny Rohl to get it right – Scott Bradley

Danny Rohl was appointed as Rangers head coach two months ago and it’s safe to say he’s certainly walked into a complete and utter mess. The Light Blues salvaged a point in stoppage time against Dundee United last night thanks to Nedim Bajrami scoring from the penalty spot. Rohl was visibly frustrated on the touchline as he watched his side struggle in the final third and defensively yet again. The Ibrox club have had a disastrous start to the season – and the German has a MASSIVE job ahead of him. Last week, the Gers board sacked chief executive Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell – two men who were instrumental in the failed appointment of Russell Martin, who only lasted 123 days in charge. One thing that’s very commendable about the chairman Andrew Cavenagh is how he acknowledged appointing Martin was a mistake and realised that Thelwell and Stewart weren’t suited for the club. Communication from the owners of a football club is key and it’s clear Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe’s hearts are in the right place. The Glasgow giants spent close to £40 million in the summer and the recruitment has been extremely poor. The stand out flop is Youssef Chermiti who was brought in for a staggering £8 million and has only managed to find the net ONCE in 15 games. Rohl is doing the best he can with the dross at his disposal – there’s only so much he can do with these players. The 36-year-old hasn’t even had a transfer window and there’s some of the Rangers faithful already writing him off – it’s ridiculous! Rohl is no stranger to chaos and struggle as he dealt with that at Sheffield Wednesday and he worked miracles there by keeping them in the Championship. The former Germany assistant has conducted himself with nothing but class so far, and it’s clear he knows what’s required to bring the glory days back to Ibrox. This isn’t going to be a quick fix and there will certainly be a lot of incomings and outgoings next month at the club. I believe Rohl is the right man to turn things around, but he needs to time and the supporters need to give him that. Rohl has already shown that he’s adaptable and knows how to set up a team to get results but is being let down by the dross on the pitch. The next month for the Govan club is going to be tough with trips to Tynecastle and Parkhead looming and it could be game changer for Rohl is he was to bag six points in those two fixtures. The Rangers fans need to be patient and get behind their head coach and understand the shambles he’s inherited. Back him.
