“BORING? HOLD THAT 8!” – DANNY RÖHL FIRES BACK AT SEAN CRIGHTON AFTER RANGERS HUMILIATE QUEEN’S PARK
Danny Röhl didn’t hold back after hearing Sean Crighton label Rangers’ style of play “boring” following their ruthless 8–0 demolition of Queen’s Park — and the Rangers boss delivered a savage response that quickly stole the headlines.
Speaking in his post-match interview at Ibrox, Röhl was visibly amused when informed of Crighton’s comments, before launching into a brutal takedown that perfectly matched the scoreline.
“Boring? If scoring eight goals, controlling every phase of the game, and entertaining 50,000 supporters is boring, then I’m very happy to be boring,” Röhl snapped. “Sometimes when you concede eight, it’s easier to talk about style than to talk about quality.”
Rangers were relentless from the first whistle, slicing through Queen’s Park with pace, intensity, and clinical finishing. By half-time the contest was already beyond doubt, and Röhl’s side showed no mercy, continuing to press and punish well into the second half.
Crighton had suggested Rangers lacked imagination despite the scoreline — a claim Röhl dismissed with thinly veiled sarcasm.
“We didn’t come here to entertain opinions, we came here to win,” Röhl continued. “Football is about solutions, dominance, and efficiency. Tonight we showed all three. If that’s boring, I’ll take boring every single week.”
The Rangers manager also hinted that comments like Crighton’s stem from frustration rather than analysis.
“When emotions are high after a heavy defeat, people say things,” he said. “But the scoreboard doesn’t lie. The performance doesn’t lie. The fans certainly didn’t feel bored.”
The emphatic win sends a clear message to Rangers’ rivals, with Röhl’s side looking sharper, more ruthless, and increasingly confident as the season gathers pace.
As for accusations of dull football, the Ibrox crowd had the perfect response — eight goals, waves of applause, and a team playing with swagger.
Boring? Not according to the noise inside Ibrox. And definitely not according to Danny Röhl.
