Rangers: Danny Rohl Wolfsburg links look set to hinge on final day shootout
Rangers manager Danny Rohl has been linked with a move to Wolfsburg.
After an excellent run into the split, the Gers resumed their campaign poorly, suffering successive defeats to Motherwell and Hearts.
As a result, Rohl’s side have fallen out of the title picture, despite the German having turned things around after a dismal start to the season.
At the same time, the Rangers boss has been linked with a move to Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg, who are battling to avoid the drop.
With the final weekend approaching, speculation over Rohl and Wolfsburg is set to intensify ahead of a decisive last-day showdown.

Wolfsburg set for final day Bundesliga shootout
Wolfsburg are 16th in Germany, in the relegation playoff spot, and as things stand would face Hannover, who are third in the second tier, over two legs.
With a sizeable gap to 15th-placed Werder Bremen, the Wolves are battling St. Pauli and Heidenheim for the safety net of the playoff.
| Position | Club | Matches played | Points | Goal difference |
| 15 | Werder Bremen | 33 | 32 | -21 |
| 16 | Wolfsburg | 33 | 26 | -26 |
| 17 | St. Pauli | 33 | 26 | -29 |
| 18 | Heidenheim | 32 | 23 | -31 |
On Saturday, both the Wolves and St. Pauli would fall to defeat against Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig respectively.
And with the final round of fixtures set to take place next week, Wolfsburg have an away trip to none other than the Hamburg club.
In a dramatic turn of events, the two sides are set to scrap it out at the Millerntor for their spot in the top-flight, with the playoff lifeline up for grabs.
Danny Rohl would not move to a second tier club
After doing a sensational job at Sheffield Wednesday, the German boss was linked to multiple jobs in his home country, with RB Leipzig carrying reported interest before opting to bring in Ole Werner last summer.
For his work at Hillsborough and early work with the Gers, Rohl has gained a reputation as a promising young coach – one who would surely not be prepared to take over a side in the second tier of German football.
Wolfsburg themselves are a unique club in the Bundesliga, with their Volkswagen ownership group giving them the ambition that can be matched financially in ways many of the league cannot.
Though even with this in mind, a step down a tier would surely be out of the question given his reputation.
With the likes of Christian Eriksen, Mohammed Amoura, Patrick Wimmer and more, the current Wolfsburg squad is packed full of talent.
Though, after chopping and changing managers throughout the season, while the hierarchy has remained unstable, the season has been disastrous.
Should they stay in the Bundesliga, there is an interesting project there for Rohl to potentially be a part of the rebuild.
Though, all of that is set to go to the final day, crucially with St. Pauli at home as the sides battle for the playoff spot.
