Danny Röhl: Europa Loss, Kilmarnock Win

Danny Röhl's reign began with a 3-0 Europa League defeat to Brann that left Rangers bottom of their group with no points and prompted captain James Tavernier to call the performance "disgraceful," an outcome for which Röhl apologised to travelling fans. He has said only wins will win over doubters and that he came to a club he believes can win titles, stressing the need for immediate results. Röhl got a positive response in his first home league game as Rangers beat Kilmarnock 3-1 at Ibrox and moved up to fifth in the Premiership. Derek Cornelius and Danilo opened and restored the lead and new £10m signing Youssef Chermiti scored his first Rangers goal amid a first-half error by goalkeeper Jack Butland and VAR/offside moments. Röhl emphasised a tactical shift toward intensity, aggressive pressing, defending as a unit and playing forward to create chances. He acknowledged Rangers must string wins together to close a 13-point gap to Premiership leaders Hearts.
