@AMcKellar89 Appointment aside.. i think the Board are trying to instill the idea that this is the manager and it will be the players that change if there's unrest, rather than the other way about. Just maybe that starts the culture shift they talk about?

If nothing else it is decisive & clear from the ownership. Basically it’s an early shout of “get on board with it because it’s happening” to the fans. Question marks remain over Rohl given the collapse but one thing the club absolutely must improve on regardless is the player recruitment. We need a clear vision of what a Rangers team looks like, because it’s miles away from what their first appointment, Martin, was trying to serve up. Soundbites on steel, leadership are good. But let’s see what they look like on the pitch, not on paper.

@ArrC94 Whats your thoughts on the whole manager revolving door thing? They identified that at the start of last season then Martin happened.. I'm just assuming their stance is the same and are going to run the course with Rohl

Worth considering that Rohl reportedly told the Rangers board early on the squad wasn’t at the required level. Maybe he identified the mentality and leadership issues from day one. It doesn’t excuse the collapse, but may explain why the board are sticking with him.

It was put to Andrew Cavenagh that we’re fed up of the cycle of manager failing, being kept on, bad start, sacked. He said he understands that but ‘it can’t always just be down to the manager. We need to look at the underlying reasons it keeps happening to break the cycle’.

They spent weeks crying about their staff apparently being “assaulted” at Ibrox. They have now went and attacked multiple Hearts players on their own park. Wonder how they will make themselves the victims over this situation

@johnwalker_1986 Not defending Rohl here but it sounds like the big difference is Rohl omitted Tav saying what it would mean to his family to lead the team out.. What players have commented on his management? Rangers players? Genuinely curious cause all ive seen is Barry Bannan 😂

@Gord07 The details as to what was discussed seem cleverly different 😛 Either way, plenty of players have commented on his management & this has jst cemented it whilst overseeing the worst run of defeats since the 80s. One way - out

Danny Röhl has either lied about the situation, misread the situation or the communication wasnt clear... Either way, that's a huge red flag for me now.

@Revan1872 A similar thing that Rommens was doing for the first... Praying that the defence and/or other midfielders arent posted missing... And yet

What the fuck is Barron doing at the goal. He runs away from the winger and let's him cut inside the box

@CarlosAlonzoM JJ: "I want to remake the OT and the Empire/Rebels dynamic, but that doesn't really make sense based on how it ended. I'll just rename them The First Order and The Resistance and not really explain how or why any of it works. Problem solved."

You need 11 players willing to shoulder responsibility, Rangers have maybe 2

@albax694 @ibroxrocks He’s putting in effort that no one else is. I actually think the end product is there, we just aren’t taking chances he’s creating. He has been played as a 9 once, he was MOTM and got injured before half time. We is a future 9 but also an absolute work horse.

@CF3Loyal What about lyall cameron from Aberdeen? He was dundees best player

I keep hearing we need to sign more Scots but whenever we’re linked with them people say they aren’t good enough. Current names: Ross McCrorie, Luke Graham and Elliott Watt. The same was said about Lewis Ferguson when i suggested it as a no brainer. So who are people expecting?

@alexjg0 Was surprised how good Fraser was on the ball both at us and during his loans, was loved at Livi and Dunfermline, cant be coincidence

Is Jayden Meghoma that much better than Robbie Fraser? Baffling decision after baffling decision made at this club. 10/15 years of captaining our youth to be replaced by a similar quality younger loan.

All well and good if you have 3 years to instill that. When Gerrard first came in he was giving it the "no jogging" chat then 3 games in to the season we were conceding goals as players slouched about the pitch. Fixed it over years not weeks or months

@johnwalker_1986 @GorgieOpinion Thats been a massive problem for years.. with different managers and different personnel, struggle to get meaningful shots away and take advantage of extra man in attack etc. Thats where someone like Shankland would have been ideal, where goalscoring is a natural instinct

Yeah thats why I made sure I called out the clips from 1st Half as it did look like they tried to create those patterns and inverting LW into 10. It was more the out of possession shape in the 442 that was wild. But Rangers had zero edge, like we didnt know what to do with the space

Masterclass from Manager of the Year Derek McInnes showed yesterday why he is 'Manager of the Year' for me in his Half-Time switch to 3-5-2. First Half, Rangers in complete control but without any real creativity, which is why Derek McInnes probably didn't change it sooner: > 3v2 in Central Midfield > 4v3 with Moore when Shankland dropped > Same Issue for Hearts with the Ball Second Half and McInnes switched to a 3-5-2: > Spittal Added to CM to Match Up Rangers 3 > Steinwender Man for Man on Moore to Avoid Overload > Leaving Shankland and Braga on the 2 CB's After that, it was a proper McInnes' Performance: > Direct & Channel Balls > 2nd Balls & Lots of Territory > Man for Man Press Hearts smothered Rangers into submission & by the time Rohl reacted, the momentum was with Hearts and the game and title was gone

Really disappointing. The familiar tale of getting into a position to challenge before completely shitting the bed when it matters. That pattern has straddled several managers and groups of players.

@moonman1873 The only manager who won us the league in the last 15 years, needed two years to build a squad capable of doing so. Rohl may not be the guy that can achieve that, but until we commit to a longer-term rebuild, the cycle of failure will never end.

@CF3Loyal Do we have the best squad or just the most expensive? Guys costing £4-5 million struggling to get a shot away in a lot of games this season.. play is slow, passing is ropey at best and just general situational awareness lacking. Im torn between attitude being ingrained or coached

We have the best squad in the league and the manager is still hitting out with this win rate btw. He can’t survive this…

@CF3Loyal The players werent up for it and it showed in the half arsed effort in all 3 goals Motherwell scored

Can we all stop pretending we played prime Barcelona last week now? That result and performance against Motherwell was an embarrassment from a team trying to win the league.

Motherwell pressed Gassama with 4 men and we still didn’t have a free man I don’t know how that’s fucking possible Positionally we are totally wrong in every way

@Support Team there is no forms for this issue. I used X through browser on an Android phone. From last two weeks the "Videos play with overlapping/echoing audio (sounds like two audio tracks at once, slightly out of sync)." Please fix this for my account @whatta_wor
