Danny Rohl has delivered his boldest statement yet as Rangers manager — and it may have just revealed how deep the problems at Ibrox really are.

With Rangers staring at another bitterly disappointing campaign and the possibility of making it 12 trophyless seasons in the last 15 years, the German coach has refused to lower his ambitions. In fact, he’s done the opposite.

Ahead of Sunday’s massive Old Firm showdown against Celtic, Rohl made it crystal clear that winning one title is not enough for him. His vision is far bigger: building a Rangers side capable of dominating Scottish football again and again.

“I have a positive energy to make this club not just a one-hit wonder but to get back to a consistent club who can win titles in a row,” Rohl declared.

Those words have immediately sparked debate across the Rangers support. Some fans admire the ambition. Others are asking the brutal question: does this current squad even have the mentality to win one trophy — never mind multiple titles in succession?

The timing of Rohl’s comments is significant. Rangers arrive into the Old Firm clash under huge pressure after a shocking collapse in recent weeks, including damaging defeats to Motherwell and Hearts that effectively killed off their title hopes.

The 37-year-old didn’t hide his frustration either. In one of his most honest assessments since arriving in Glasgow, Rohl openly accused certain players of being “too lazy to recover” during the second-half collapse against Hearts at Tynecastle.

“I need players to take responsibility in difficult moments,” he admitted. “When we faced difficult moments and needed to survive, you can’t drop back into old habits.”

That line alone speaks volumes about the issues still haunting this Rangers squad.

Rohl believes standards inside the club have improved during his first six months in charge, but he also hinted that major changes are coming this summer. The former Bayern Munich coach repeatedly referenced the need to “change things in this building,” suggesting a significant squad overhaul could be on the horizon.

Despite criticism from sections of the support, Rohl insists the problem is not tactics, formations, or nationality — it’s mentality under pressure.

“It’s not about Scottish players,” he said. “It’s about having the right players who can deliver consistently under the highest pressure again and again.”

The Rangers boss also pointed toward injuries as a hidden factor behind the club’s late-season collapse. Key players like Tuur Rommens, Ryan Naderi, Mikey Moore, and Dujon Sterling have all struggled physically during the crucial post-split fixtures.

Still, excuses won’t satisfy supporters desperate for success.

What makes Rohl’s comments so fascinating is the contrast between his confidence and Rangers’ current reality. The club could finish third. Their form has collapsed at the worst possible moment. Fans are furious. Yet the manager is talking openly about building a dynasty.

That takes belief — or enormous risk.

Now all eyes turn to Sunday’s Old Firm clash. Another defeat to Celtic would intensify scrutiny on Rohl and his squad, while a statement performance could finally give supporters a glimpse of the future he keeps promising.

One thing is certain: Danny Rohl isn’t thinking short-term anymore. He’s talking about rebuilding Rangers from the ground up.

The only question left is whether the players around him are capable of surviving that revolution.
