Danny Rohl told there will be ‘no way back’ at Rangers if he doesn’t do one simple thing
Rangers are preparing for a crunch Scottish Premiership tie with St Mirren on Sunday, as the twists and turns continue at the very top.
After Hearts lost at Kilmarnock on Saturday, the Bears can go three points behind the leaders and one point behind fierce rivals, Celtic.
Danny Rohl will be desperate for victory, and after a dreadful few weeks dropping points, Rangers should already be top of the Scottish Premiership.
Should they keep it tight, many eyes are already starting to wonder to the split, where all three will meet again.

Job on the line for Danny Rohl?
Unfortunately for Rohl and Rangers, two of their post-split games will be away at Hearts and Celtic, given their earlier fixtures at Ibrox.
Writing for the Scottish Daily Mail, as shared on X with the caption that there will be “no way back for him” if he can’t beat O’Neill on the third time of asking, Gary Keown agreed.
“That’s why that visit to Parkhead post-split is going to be huge for Rohl,” he wrote.
“If he can’t get the better of a pensioner who looked finished with football and a squad in serious regression in the wake of several botched transfer windows, how is he going to cope when they’ve appointed a proper, modern-day head coach and got their recruitment in order?”
Could Danny Rohl really be sacked?
At first thought, it seems unthinkable that Rohl could be given his marching orders.
But when you really dive into the facts, it does become possible.
Everyone will praise the German for getting Rangers back in title contention following the disastrous stint of Russell Martin in Govan, but once there, he has somewhat thrown it away.
Rangers have dropped points against 10-man Motherwell, bottom-dwelling Livingston and Celtic after being two goals ahead at home.
Those six points missed would have them sitting top of the pile with a positive result in Paisley on Sunday, but instead, they’re fighting to stay in touch again.
For now, it is about winning every game possible and making sure that whoever comes out on top during the split fixtures will take home the title.
If you want to finish at the top, you have to beat those that are around you, and Rohl has shown that he can do that, with this triple-horse race showing no signs of slowing down right now.
