Chris Sutton annoyed at what Rangers fans are now saying about Danny Rohl – ‘Rubbish’
Danny Rohl could potentially be sacked if Rangers don’t win the William Hill Premiership title.
The Gers were knocked out of the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup on penalties by Celtic on 8 March, prompting questions about the German manager’s future.
There are now suggestions that the 36-year-old head coach might have to walk away from the Light Blues if he can’t finish top of the league table this season, but Chris Sutton looks visibly annoyed by those claims.
The Ibrox faithful are raising questions over Rohl, but the German manager has surely done enough this season to remain in charge for the upcoming campaign.

Danny Rohl sack claims baffle at Rangers
At the start of the season, the Gers looked down and out under Russell Martin, witnessing their joint-worst league start after seven games.
Supporters in G51 had lost all hope of winning anything in the current campaign, but Rohl has come in and changed that.
The former Sheffield Wednesday brought stability back to the Glaswegian outfit, losing just one of his 21 William Hill Premiership games in charge.
Some fans are calling for Rohl’s dismissal at Ibrox, and while it’s clear that the 36-year-old head coach needs to make slight tweaks to succeed at the Govan side, he’s undoubtedly done enough to earn more time.
Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises won’t want to risk the long-term interest of the Light Blues for short-term gain.
Speaking on the Record Celtic Podcast on 10 March, Michael Gannon said, “Rohl is getting a bit of pressure applied to him now as well. People are saying that he’s got to win the league or he’s toast,” to which Sutton responded, “That’s rubbish, isn’t it?”
Danny Rohl has one clear selection priority after what’s seen at Ibrox
Andreas Skov Olsen’s signing was met with jubilation among many Rangers fans, with the Danish winger expected to bring quality to Rohl’s squad.
Tochi Chukwuani and Tuur Rommens have shone during their initial days at Ibrox, but the same can’t be said about the VfL Wolfsburg loanee and Ryan Naderi.
In the league and cup tie against Celtic, supporters expected more from Skov Olsen, whose inability to get past defenders has become frustrating.
The Glaswegian outfit have been given no reason to trigger the buy option in the 26-year-old’s loan deal, and it would be better for Rohl to drop him from the starting lineup.
