Danny Rohl’s Rangers Debut Ends in 3-0 Europa League Defeat at Brann

The new head coach steps in after a fraught search as a restless fanbase questions leadership.

Overview

  • Emil Kornvig, Jacob Sorensen and Noah Holm scored in Bergen as Rangers remained winless and without a point after three Europa League matches.
  • The game marked Rohl’s first in charge after his appointment earlier this week to replace Russell Martin, who was sacked following a dire start to the season.
  • Rohl, who previously assisted Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich and Germany, said Flick sent a good‑luck message and he expects to finalise a compact backroom team.
  • The recruitment process lasted around 15 days, with Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat withdrawing before Rohl accepted the role after briefly pulling out.
  • Chairman Andrew Cavenagh has pledged January funds following about £34m spent on 14 summer signings, as protests focus on CEO Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell and pundits warn the new boss faces immediate pressure.
