DANNY RÖHL: "NO QUESTION" RANGERS MANAGER NEXT SEASON | TUESDAY 12TH MAY

12 May 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What are the key fixtures in the Scottish Premiership this week?

0.031 - 10.581 Unknown

0141 951 1025. It's time to talk football. It's Clyde One Super Scoreboard.

0

17.362 - 33.519 Gordon Duncan

Good evening and welcome to Clyde One Super Scoreboard as we get set for the penultimate set of Premiership fixtures. The title could be won tomorrow across a combination of Hearts against Falkirk and Motherwell against Celtic. You don't even need to wait until then though.

0

33.539 - 57.274 Gordon Duncan

Tonight it's all about the bottom six and the huge night in particular for St Mirren at Aberdeen and as if that's not enough... The battle to face the 11th place team in the Premiership heats up. Dumfermline against Partick Thistle in the Premiership play-off semi-final first leg as well. How much drama can you squeeze into a Tuesday night alongside Killian Sheridan and Gordon Diehl?

0

57.254 - 77.862 Gordon DL

Well, you've got to say, what a six days we've got ahead of ourselves in Scottish football, Gordon. Excitement everywhere, starting tonight, all the way down from the bottom six. A lot of important games, especially Aberdeen. Can the ex-manager of St Mirren, who took them to the cup final and won the cup against Celtic,

0

77.842 - 92.526 Gordon DL

Put them into 11th and put them in real pressure against a championship playoff of Dunfermline Party. They will fancy that. Then tomorrow night, all the big games, all the way through to Saturday and Sunday. It's blockbuster stuff.

Chapter 2: How does Danny Rohl's future impact Rangers fans?

93.603 - 123.059 Unknown

Yeah, I'm in agreement with you there, Gordon. I think it's kind of written in the stars, unfortunately, for I think Steven Robertson is going to cement St Mirren in that 11th spot. And it's just trying to not get ahead of ourselves and look beyond tonight's fixtures before tomorrow's round. But yeah, I think tonight will be probably, I think it's St Mirren's rest will come to an end.

0

123.119 - 138.971 Gordon Duncan

Oh dear. 01419511025, a nice ominous note for you St Mirren fans to start on. But how good is this? I've just found myself, Gordon, doing that really, not really base level of conversation when people go... I can't believe it's that time of the year already. But seriously, I feel like that's really come over me today.

0

138.991 - 154.837 Gordon Duncan

I can't believe this season and all the drama and all the unanswered questions in the Premiership title race will be answered by Saturday evening. We're that close and it could... I've no idea what it looks like between now and then, but we're that close.

0

154.857 - 172.783 Gordon DL

It's going to be incredible. Honestly, Gordon, we're just second guessing. Every single time the fixtures come out, you're looking tomorrow night, permutations. I said at the weekend, I thought Hart's opened the door for Celtic at the weekend. Celtic walked right through that door. I fancy them now to go and win the title.

0

172.763 - 191.987 Gordon DL

But then if they don't beat Motherwell, which is a possibility because Motherwell are absolutely terrific at Far Park, and Harts beat Falkirk, then Harts walk right through the door. And then you've got, as you say, they are St Mirren up at Aberdeen tonight. I think they're going to finish in the relegation playoff anyway. And I think that championship...

Chapter 3: What challenges does St Mirren face in the relegation battle?

191.967 - 218.262 Gordon DL

game between Dunfermline and Partick is an absolute cracker the football we're getting this season has been so exciting Gordon and I hope I hope fingers crossed as a neutral it goes right to the wire on Saturday Celtic v Hearts for the Premier League at Celtic can't get any better I was going to say Killian because I think everybody knows how fine the lines are here but

0

218.242 - 247.877 Gordon Duncan

the way that I keep thinking about it is after the weekend because of the hype that goes around the Celtic Rangers fixture the fact that they won the fact they've got a bit of momentum I feel like people are maybe expecting Celtic to go and win the title from here but Hearts could win it tomorrow Celtic can't win it tomorrow that's how much this is in the balance if Celtic get their 90 minutes wrong and Mother will win all that stuff about what they did in the old firm game won't matter Hearts could actually be champions as early as tomorrow night I think that's remarkable

0

247.857 - 266.929 Unknown

Yeah, and it just adds to kind of how the season has been playing all season. Each weekend people are making different predictions about who's the favourite now to win it, who's in the best position. Now all of a sudden it looks like it's, well it is in Celtic's hands.

0

266.909 - 295.633 Gordon Duncan

and it's just I think it's a fitting end to a season that's kind of had everything and then Gordon talking about doors I'd say Rangers fell through a trap door amongst all that I'm annoyed that you've indulged him because he absolutely he's loving that analogy he's mentioned that about 40 times I'm doors all day long do you know the worst of it is right I was doing a lot of stuff on Sky yesterday loads of live updates

0

295.613 - 311.698 Gordon Duncan

live TV you're scrambling around for things to say I think I said it and I think I'd I can't believe I've used you for inspiration I'm sure at one point I had a straight face right down the barrel and said I mean hearts open the door for service it's excitement we're all excited Gordon

311.678 - 334.935 Gordon DL

you can't honestly you cannot get a better end to a season and have a look at the season we've had you know Rangers and Celtic with their troubles their managers everything that's went before us Hart's been at the top of the league for so long been absolutely brilliant and yet we could get to a scenario on Saturday it could go to the last game can't ask for any better

334.915 - 343.409 Unknown

One slight complaint is that... What now? How good it could have been if Rangers kept up some sort of challenge.

343.529 - 344.651 Gordon Duncan

Imagine three at the weekend.

344.671 - 346.253 Unknown

Going into this last two games.

Chapter 4: How are Celtic and Hearts positioned in the title race?

650.731 - 676.198 Unknown

Bad news for me, to be honest Gordon, obviously Basler, I don't know if he does remember, but obviously I saw the possibility of a change last summer. The guy that I really wanted to become was Sean Dyche.

0

677.022 - 699.148 Unknown

and I think for me Sean Dyche at the moment would steady the ship in terms of Rangers are concerned he would bring I hate to bring the great man's name into it but he would bring an almost Walter Smith Cam like presence to this Rangers team and Sean Dyche for me would

0

700.613 - 723.988 Unknown

be someone you know people are going to shoot some roof talks you probably had guys from your show talking about Gerrard and Dennis McKinnis and this that and the other Gerrard's turned us down twice and he walked away Gerrard for me and in terms of that he's burnt his bridges for Rangers he don't he don't get a second chance to become Rangers manager never mind three chances um

0

725.453 - 751.373 Unknown

But for a lot of people in the Rangers fan base, Gerrard can do no wrong, which is quite baffling to me when you consider, you know, that what's happened this season happened twice under Steven Gerrard in 19 and 20. He took the team to Dubai twice and they collapsed. despite being in front of Celtic twice. Anyway, I digress.

0

751.434 - 763.511 Gordon Duncan

Is it quite telling here that Danny Rule says he's going to stay next season and you and some other Rangers fans are still just thinking about who else you would rather have? Is it going to be tough for you to get behind him then or do you think you'll manage it in time?

765.454 - 791.91 Unknown

I'll get behind anybody. I've been a Rangers supporter since about... six years old, I'll be 40 this year. I know people on YouTube coming, oh Craig, he talks about Greg. But listen, whoever the Rangers manager is, whoever the Rangers team is, I'll get behind. That's just what you do as a supporter. But do I want Danny Rowe as a Rangers manager? No. Do I think it could be

792.667 - 820.041 Unknown

a good right-hand man to somebody, absolutely. In the same way that Michael Beale was a right-hand man to Gerrard, but he's not a Rangers manager in a million years. He got the bounce, as people say, when he came in, and he got that sort of... I don't want to say he was lucky at Parkhead, because that demeans the result, but that 3-1 result at Parkhead bought him a lot of time, in my opinion.

820.612 - 845.438 Unknown

and I've seen this online, I hate going back to online, but in my opinion, Danny Rule, or Rule, or whatever you want to change his name as, it was always a stopgap to the end of the season, whether or not it's going to be publicly lodged, and I haven't paid a lot of attention to this, but if Rangers back him in the summer and they say, go and get your own players,

846.802 - 867.329 Unknown

I'll be honest, I really see us just being in the position we were under, you know, previous managers come November. It's going to be rins and repeat. And then the new managers come in and say, I don't like these players. I don't like this. And, you know, Gordon, the most gallant thing for me is the guy's been here seven, eight months. I don't know. I don't know what you spell football is.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the playoffs for teams like Dunfermline and Partick Thistle?

940.492 - 965.537 Gordon DL

where I look at them and think, right, OK, you're mentioning about you're losing Tavernier and you want leaders on the pitch. My question is quite simple. I think the biggest leader's got to be the guy standing off the pitch, the guy that makes the decisions, the guy that's the manager. He's the leader. And my question, Mark, is, is he a good enough leader to take Rangers' next step?

0

966.31 - 988.167 Unknown

Yeah, I get what the meaning behind that, where he seems more like a coach, a head coach. And I understand with Sean Dyche, there is that more of a manager presence about him on the sideline, I think. I think probably Danny Roll's biggest problem would be if he does stay on beyond, or stays on for next season,

0

988.147 - 999.304 Unknown

the fans are going to be split and there's going to be guys who want him out and then there's going to be the people who want him to stay. And then as soon as he comes in, it's like they're waiting for that...

0

999.47 - 1029.477 Gordon DL

bad form or bad run to happen and then it just everything just starts again I feel Sean Dyche certainly up until now I don't know if he's suddenly changed his mind on these things but would command a much higher wage than any Rangers managers ever had much much much higher yeah as much as Rangers are a massive attraction right Dyche was mentioned before as well and I don't think there was any opportunity I think he sees a club in England for him just now I might be wrong but I think the Danny Rule will be in charge of Rangers next year I think it'll be Gerrard

0

1029.457 - 1052.562 Unknown

personally there we go well Darren is on the other line Darren Danny Rule says he's staying what do you make of that I'm quite happy with that to be honest because my personal opinion on it is just look back it's been years and years manager in manager out manager in the last four years been like that so how can you break a cycle if he's Danny the guys know his players

1054.128 - 1082.127 Gordon Duncan

do you ultimately believe he's the right guy though because I I'm kind of along those lines generally in football Darren where I always think like it just it turns over too quickly you surely need to give people a chance but you also need to believe that person's the right guy otherwise you're you're cutting off your nose really to spite your face so do you think he's the right man I think personally I I think like it's just when he came in he got his one in one in I mean I know he had a few draws in that got his one in then like I know what happens happens you can't do anything about that

1082.495 - 1094.648 Unknown

But there's always an excuse and we'll get the money behind us now. I know money's not everything in football, but I think we should back him. If it does work out, it will work out, but I think he'll do well next year.

1094.988 - 1107.642 Gordon Duncan

Again, I'd say just the general logic of giving managers a bit more time I think is fine, but I'm just saying the winning run didn't keep going, you can't do anything about that. Rangers fans are hoping as a manager you

1107.622 - 1136.852 Gordon Duncan

You can do something about that And again If it doesn't work out Then fine But no That's not You're back to the same scenario And then Then you're back to the same scenario And then the next guy It's not his players either That's right And he doesn't get the pre-season So now is a really key moment To make that If you're going to make If you've even This is very harsh on Danny Rule But see because of the timing of it See even if Rangers are slightly unsure Would that not lean you more towards

Chapter 6: What strategies are being discussed for Rangers' future?

1478.978 - 1500.532 Unknown

Now, if Rangers don't win this league next season, they've got to get it right because if you're cheating ticket money and the financial crisis we're in, people are not going to blindly give money every season. But when there's no success, there's got to be tangible success. We've got to give our manager a chance. There's been improvement under rule.

0

1500.973 - 1532.776 Unknown

The business model of the club is far superior than what it's been for many a year now. We've got sellable assets. We seem to be doing something decent in the transfer window. What I would say is maybe less loan signings and more long-term signings. Has it though? Because we've got loads of Rangers fans on saying there's no real style and they don't enjoy it. I don't know.

0

1532.976 - 1540.529 Unknown

I think the problem with Rangers is they cannae play with intensity for 90 minutes. That's a big problem. We seem to be playing fits and scarps.

0

1541.05 - 1557.193 Gordon Duncan

What do you make of that, Gordon? The notion that the risk of getting a new manager is you might sack him after eight games. I just feel like... I don't know, call it law of averages or whatever, even if you want to strip it to that. I think the chances of getting another managerial appointment so wrong in the summer that you sack him after eight games is slim.

0

1557.253 - 1568.532 Gordon Duncan

It needs to be, to give a manager a pre-season, a summer transfer window and sack him after eight games, it needs to be horrific. Russell Martin levels of horrific. I just can't see that.

1568.512 - 1590.064 Gordon DL

Yeah, lightning strike twice. Happening again, but we never know. I do agree. Listen, if Serge thinks the manager is the right man, there's not a problem with that. And I don't think he'll be alone. But there's a lot of doubters. But the most important thing for a Rangers manager is the people above. Do they believe that he's the right man to give him money

1590.044 - 1614.862 Gordon DL

Let him get out there, bring his own players in, and he had a good transfer. Now, remember, he had a good transfer window in January, a strong transfer window. Everybody was saying they're finished third. They're trophy-less again. So I don't know if they're a great big improvement under this manager. I'm not sitting here going managers should be sacked. That's up to clubs to make that decision.

1614.882 - 1633.956 Gordon DL

It's up to supporters to have their own opinion of it. I think Rangers do need a big, big summer transfer window. I think there's a lot of dead wood in there. I think there's a lot of players that need put out and replaced. And then it's up to the owners to say, is this a man that's going to be trusted with the purse rings?

1634.543 - 1650.865 Gordon Duncan

I think, you know, Serge is saying he wants Danny Rule to stay. That's not the bit I'm taking issue with, Kelly, and that's up to the Rangers fans and up to me. I don't think that's controversial. More like the working, the notion that Rangers might sack the new guy eight games in. I just find that so hard to believe that would happen two seasons in a row.

Chapter 7: How do injuries affect team performance in crucial matches?

1802.83 - 1803.651 Unknown

0

1856.055 - 1870.088 Gordon Duncan

Both excited about what's to come tonight and tomorrow and over the next few days. Going to be unmissable, so let's keep going with the previews. David's a Celtic fan. What are you thinking, David? Is it yours from here? Are you still got worries?

0

1870.287 - 1872.99 Unknown

No, I've got no worries at all. It's going to win the league.

1873.29 - 1874.471 Gordon Duncan

No worries at all?

1875.132 - 1883.181 Unknown

None at all. Jeez, that's confidence. Because one of the best players for Marlborough this season, fair play to Marlborough, Stephen Wells, he's not playing, isn't he?

1883.201 - 1885.743 Gordon Duncan

He didn't play when Marlborough beat you 2-0 at Firth Park either.

1886.304 - 1906.785 Unknown

I think we had a weakness in our managerial set-up. You might be right. Aye, so did it. There's no weakness in the managerial set-up this time. Martin O'Neill's a vile old fox. He's put on the best teams in Europe and beat them. You know what I mean? And I just think that leaves Marvel, first of all, a weakness because Stephen Welsh isn't playing because he's our player.

Chapter 8: What predictions are being made for the upcoming matches?

2030.424 - 2053.498 Gordon DL

Mother will have been up and down with their form. I thought they were very good against Rangers. Hearts first half, I thought they played well. And then, obviously, I thought Hearts were better side second half. Look, I... If I was given a prediction, I fancy that this league title is going to the last game of the season. I think Celtic will go and get the job done at third part tomorrow.

0

2053.518 - 2055.522 Gordon DL

Because of the importance of the game, you said?

0

2055.582 - 2060.409 Gordon Duncan

No, just because of... Because teams have been losing important games this season, that's the point.

0

2060.73 - 2080.553 Gordon DL

I think because of the scenario, i.e. manager, I think... like Maeda coming back to form I think the loss I know what you're saying about Welsh but if McKinnon's missing as well there's a big hole in that defence Motherwell will try and play that style of football of course they will I think it'll be a very very good game

0

2080.533 - 2102.822 Gordon DL

I think with one or two I thought Ingalls the weekend started showing a bit of form I do agree with David I think Scales got a bit of unfair criticism Alistair Johnston's getting more minutes under his belt as well and I just think there's a different feel about Celtic going to third park tomorrow night. You're right, it's not about the key.

2102.842 - 2124.394 Gordon DL

You've got to go and win the game because there will be nerves there because I fancy Hearts strongly to win at Tyne Castle. So that'll put a little bit of pressure on Celtic thinking, well, if we lose here, all of a sudden that dream's gone. It's away. But I just get a feeling this title, because of the way things have happened, is going right to the wire Saturday at Celtic Park.

2124.374 - 2140.02 Gordon Duncan

he saved himself there because I think fine Maida's back in form Engels is back so on but I just I think just because it's important you know it was important for Rangers at Dinecastle and look what happened there Hart's dropped points at Firpark the other night when they could have taken a massive step towards the title so

2140 - 2168.755 Unknown

it's got to take more than that to win a game surely I just think Celtic have hit form as the best time in the season they've grinded out 36 or they've played 36 games and grinded out what 24 wins look sharper don't they yeah they look a lot more intensity A massive part of that is Dyson Maeda. He just, it kind of just like, it's an infectious energy that seems to go through the team.

2168.775 - 2192.135 Unknown

I think Arnie Engels coming back has been massive. He's added a lot more dynamism into the midfield, I think. You can see off the ball, he's been a big difference. But I agree with you, I think it'll be a cracking game. I think Motherwell are kind of like free to play the way they have played all season and Celtic need to win it. And they've got impact players as well.
