Danny Rohl and Wilfried Nancy doubts emerge after bleak Rangers situation
Wilfried Nancy may have an easier job at Celtic compared to Danny Rohl at Rangers.
Daily Record journalist Keith Jackson believes the German manager came into the Gers during bleak circumstances, with Russell Martin’s tenure lasting just 123 days in G51 after a disastrous start to the season.
Nancy is set to be appointed as Celtic’s next permanent manager after Brendan Rodgers’ resignation.
Rohl is slowly starting to turn the form around at Ibrox, as the two Old Firm clubs go down the route of appointing head coaches who aren’t really well-known in the game.
Danny Rohl credentials questioned after Rangers appointment
Jackson wonders whether Rohl and Nancy would’ve accepted roles at the Glaswegian outfits regardless of the circumstances there.
The Daily Record journalist can’t help but think that the Ibrox job is too prestigious for the former Sheffield Wednesday boss.
While the Columbus Crew head coach and German manager have been credited with taking on the challenge at the Old Firm clubs, they may just be happy to be there, no matter the situation.
Speaking on Hotline Live on 17 November, Jackson said: “I think you can draw an interesting comparison there to Rohl across the city. Same set of circumstances. In fact, Rohl was taking over an even bleak set of circumstances. Celtic are a trophy-winning machine. They shouldn’t require the drastic amount of work Rohl has taken on.”
“As much as I admire both of these young coaches for walking onto that in this environment and taking the bull by the horns, there’s also an element of, are they just happy to be here? Are they guys that will take this job under any circumstances?”
Rohl has got fans at Ibrox thinking about the league title once again, and Nancy will have a massive task on his hands once he arrives at Parkhead.
Danny Rohl can soon dream of Ibrox success after international break
Rohl seems to have no chance of progressing in the Europa League, making the William Hill Premiership a priority at the Gers.
Rangers face Livingston at home after the international break, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them get their fourth straight win in the league on 22 November.
The Ibrox faithful will feel they have fairly winnable games against Dundee United and Kilmarnock before the Light Blues travel to Tynecastle Park on 21 December.
Hearts have to deal with the likes of Motherwell, Celtic and Falkirk before facing the Gers, and the points gap at the top of the table could potentially be less significant by the time the new year comes around.
