Danny Röhl Makes First Promise to Rangers Fans After Gritty Away Win at Hibernian

In a pulsating William Hill Premiership clash at Easter Road on October 29, 2025, Rangers head coach Danny Röhl delivered a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Hibernian, igniting hope among the travelling support.

Danilo’s seventh-minute strike – his second goal in as many games – proved decisive, with Jack Butland’s stunning late penalty save from Jamie McGrath sealing a first away clean sheet in 25 matches. insideibrox.comFor Röhl, appointed just over a week earlier on a 2.5-year deal following Russell Martin’s sacking, this triumph marked back-to-back league wins after a 3-1 home rout of Kilmarnock and a chastening 3-0 Europa League loss to Brann.

The German’s tactical switch to a resilient 3-5-2 formation stifled Hibs’ attack, ending their 16-game home unbeaten streak and propelling Rangers to third in the table.

But it was in the post-match press conference where Röhl truly connected, making his first explicit promise to Rangers fans: a unbreakable bond forged through relentless effort on the pitch. “What I really liked was at the end of the game, our supporters and players come closer,” he beamed, eyes alight.

Describing the joyous scenes as players and fans linked for two full minutes of celebration – a stark contrast to the Bergen boos – Röhl vowed: “I think if we do our job on the pitch then we’ll have a great relationship and connection with our fans.”

This pledge echoes his arrival mantra of “hard work, unity and success,” but lands with newfound weight after proving his words in Edinburgh’s cauldron. “I’m very happy and proud… A big thank you to our fans. They appreciated the effort today,” Röhl added, sensing bridges rebuilding with a support weary from prior woes.

Röhl’s honeymoon is brief: a Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Celtic looms Sunday. Yet, with momentum surging – Danilo thriving, Butland heroic – his promise feels tangible. Fans chanted “Danny Röhl” to Boney M’s Daddy Cool; now, he pledges reciprocity. “Building bridges” isn’t rhetoric; it’s Röhl’s blueprint for Ibrox revival.

As Rangers depart Easter Road atop a wave of blue optimism, Röhl’s words resonate: effort earns loyalty. This win wasn’t pretty, but it’s progress. And that fan connection? Priceless. WATP.
