Brendan Rodgers news at Celtic gives Rangers big hope under Danny Rohl
Danny Rohl is looking to complete one of the greatest rebuilds in Rangers’ history.
Following the sacking of Russell Martin, Rangers sit eighth in the Scottish Premiership and bottom of the Europa League table.
Rohl’s first game in charge ended in a dismal 3-0 loss to Brann, yet news across Glasgow could be a huge bonus to the start of his reign.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is facing scrutiny, and with Rohl looking to turn around the Light Blues’ fortunes, this could come at a perfect time for Bears fans.
Celtic don’t beat Rangers under Brendan Rodgers anymore
Rodgers is under pressure at Celtic, as Hoops fans are unhappy with matters both on and off the pitch.
On 26 October, journalist Gary Keown wrote in the Scottish Mail on Sunday that Rodgers can’t win big matches anymore for Celtic, and references their Scottish Cup final loss to Aberdeen on 24 May.
Rangers and Celtic’s first meeting this season ended 0-0, with the stalemate being classed as one of the most boring Old Firm derbies in recent history.
| Rangers | Stat | Celtic |
| 8 | Games played | 8 |
| 1 | Wins | 5 |
| 6 | Draws | 2 |
| 1 | Losses | 1 |
| 9 | Points | 17 |
| 8th | League position | 2nd |
The next meeting between the two sides is in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final at Hampden Park on 2 November, and a win for Rangers could signal the turning of the tide.
Celtic have won nine out of the last 10 league titles, yet their stronghold on Scottish football in 2025-26 has never looked more in doubt.
Whilst are Hearts flying at the top of the table, there is renewed optimism amongst Bears supporters that can overtake this current Celtic squad under Rohl.
With both Celtic and Rangers supporters furious at their owners for different reasons, it’s the team from Govan that could hold an edge in the coming months.
Rangers have real chance to close gap on Celtic amid crisis across Glasgow
The Premier Sports Cup clash will be Rohl’s fourth match in charge, and there is far more pressure on Rodgers to continue delivering silverware at this moment in time.
Should Rohl spur Rangers to a fantastic win at Hampden, this could be a catalyst in Rangers’ much-needed revival under the stewardship of the 49ers and Andrew Cavenagh.
Whilst the German manager will need time to figure out his best players and what style of football is successful and sustainable, circumstances across Glasgow should motivate the Gers players to get their act together.
Rangers take on Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, and a first league win at Ibrox would instantly mark the start of progress under the 36-year-old manager.
