How Danny Rohl twist can alter Jens Hjerto-Dahl's route to Rangers as deal wanted
Danny Rohl could single-handedly change the prospect of Jens Hjerto-Dahl joining Rangers this summer.
The Gers are still in the race for the young Norwegian, who has been the subject of a big offer from Cardiff City.
It's said that the Bluebirds have offered nearly £8million for the 20-year-old, who keeps scoring for Tromso amid all the transfer noise.
The Bears sent a £5.4m bid to his employers earlier in July, but were met with a stubborn response as they then turned their attention to Vanja Dragojevic.
Despite the arrival of Dragojevic, it appears Derek McInnes' side are still keen on adding another midfielder.
Hjerto-Dahl is wanted at Ibrox, but former Rangers boss Rohl could deliver a huge blow to his former side.

Ibrox News has already gathered information that Rangers have agreed personal terms with Hjerto-Dahl, with the player possibly only having eyes for the Light Blues.
That's because the central midfielder has remained in hot goal-scoring form for Tromso, making Gers supporters fantasise about the possibility of his signing.
The player himself has already suggested he would prefer a move to Ibrox over links to clubs in Turkiye, though it's not known if he would opt for a move to Cardiff.
He will soon have a decision to make, though the race for his signature appears to be only getting even more complicated.
According to the Daily Record, Rohl's RB Salzburg are one of two new clubs to express their interest in Hjerto-Dahl.
It's said the Austrian side, as well as Dutch outfit Feyenoord, have joined the race to sign him.
Rohl gave the Ibrox faithful a hard time last season, and he could deliver a huge blow if he were to pry their admired target away from them.
Rangers have a key decision to make, as McInnes' recent claims for a "difference maker" could lie with Hjerto-Dahl.

Rangers only need a couple more additions before they are set this summer, and Hjerto-Dahl could be one of them.
McInnes has stated he feels his side still need that extra bit of X-factor from someone following the 0-0 draw against West Ham in pre-season, as his side have failed to score from open play in their last two games.
Hjerto-Dahl has shown he can do both sides of the game well, but has also proven that he can change a match at the flip of a switch, possessing the ability to score from range, as seen in recent weeks.
He has the skill to give Rangers moments that are needed in a title race, and a player of his calibre could be the final jigsaw piece to McInnes' puzzle.
