RANGERS NEW HEAD COACH SET TO DO THE UNTHINKABLE AND BENCH RANGERS STAR AHEAD OF THEIR EUROPA LEAGUE CLASH AGAINST BRANN, UTTERLY RUTHELESS

Rohl’s Ruthless Start: New Rangers Boss Set to Bench Joe Rothwell for Brann ClashGLASGOW – Danny Rohl’s tenure as Rangers head coach is set to begin with an act of unvarnished ruthlessness, with reports strongly suggesting that midfielder Joe Rothwell will be dropped to the bench for tonight’s crucial Europa League clash against Brann.The new manager, installed to galvanize a struggling side, appears ready to make an immediate, defining statement by axing one of the club’s high-profile summer signings. Rothwell, who joined Ibrox from Bournemouth to much fanfare and a lucrative contract, has failed to consistently impress the demanding Gers support since his arrival.Sources suggest that after just a few training sessions, the former Bayern Munich and Germany assistant coach has made up his mind that the English midfielder does not currently fit the high-intensity, structured blueprint he intends to implement. The decision to immediately bench a player viewed as a significant recruitment blunder of the previous regime is being interpreted as a brutally efficient move by Rohl to distance himself from the recent failures at Ibrox.Many fans have been clamouring for a change in the central midfield area, which has been cited as a key contributor to Rangers’ inconsistent start to the season. By immediately making an example of a player seen as an underperformer, Rohl will instantly earn a reputation for being decisive and utterly ruthless—a trait many believe is essential for success in the Glasgow goldfish bowl.The Europa League fixture in Norway is Rohl’s first test in the dugout, and a victory is paramount to salvage the club’s European campaign. Bouncing back from two consecutive defeats will require a significant performance, and Rohl’s brave, if brutal, team selection is a clear signal that the German will prioritise immediate results over reputation or transfer fee. The unthinkable is now a reality: Joe Rothwell is set to watch the start of the new era from the sidelines.
