Rangers: Two Danny Rohl signings should fear for Ibrox futures under Derek McInnes
Rangers are entering a new era under Derek McInnes, but some of those brought to Ibrox under Danny Rohl may not be part of it.
This summer was always expected to be one of change for Rangers, just not perhaps as big as what it's already turned out to be.
Indeed, Andrew Cavenagh and the 49ers had given Rohl their backing following the disastrous end to last season, only to see the German flee for RB Salzburg this week.
Gers chiefs deserve praise for how they've reacted to this shock turn of events though, as they've moved quickly to appoint McInnes on a three-year contract.
As such, a fresh wave of optimism has swept through Govan following this news, with many Rangers fans now looking forward to the future under the former Hearts boss.
But, whilst the arrival of a new manager may wipe the slate clean for some, those recently brought to Glasgow under Rohl could now face a fight for their futures already.
Ryan Naderi one of Rohl's signings at risk under Derek McInnes
Joining Rangers in October last year following Russell Martin's short-lived reign, Rohl would only end up overseeing one transfer window at Ibrox.
That came in January, where he made four new acquisitions to his squad in the hopes of seeing through Gers' title push.
Ryan Naderi, Andreas Skov Olsen, Tuur Rommens and Tochi Chukwuani respectively were all signed during that window to mixed success.
Skov Olsen is back at Wolfsburg after an underwhelming loan spell, with Rangers opting against triggering the reported £9million permanent option in his deal.
Meanwhile, Rommens enjoyed an impressive start to life in royal blue, scoring once and providing two assists in 10 Scottish Premiership games.
That just leaves Naderi and Chukwuani, both of whom still have plenty to prove in G51.
Signed for £4.7m, the 22-year-old forward showed his rawness and unrefined ability in the second half of last season, and wasn't able to hold down a starting role under Rohl.
McInnes will be expected to lead Rangers to a successful title quest next season, and particularly in his early games in charge, he will want to call on players he knows he can trust to get off to a good start.
Naderi looks unlikely to fall into that category, and with Lawrence Shankland also in town on top of any other possible new arrivals, the pecking order for minutes in Gers' attack is only growing larger.
Rangers won't want to give up on Naderi yet given the investment they made in him, but perhaps look for McInnes to commission a loan exit for him this summer.
Tochi Chukwuani may not fit McInnes' style of play
McInnes' 2025-26 Hearts side were a tough, physical team that may not have played the most attractive brand of football, but it was effective.
This could be a problem for Chukwuani, however, as his 0.88 accurate long balls per 90 ranked him in the bottom 7.8 per cent of all Scottish Premiership defensive midfielders in 2025-26.
Meanwhile, his 2.29 tackles per game was only good enough to place him in the leading 39 percentile - just slightly above average.
After some strong early performances after joining Rangers, the 23-year-old's displays really started to dip towards the end of the campaign, along with his role in the squad.
Gers' midfield department is already fairly congested, and with McInnes likely to want to put his own stamp on it, exits may be required for one or two.
The Dane certainly has potential to be a key player at Ibrox, but a poor end to last term combined with the possibility of him not being a McInnes-type of midfielder may have him fearful for his future.
