Ibrox Coaching Carousel

In what reads like a thrilling episode from a coaching soap opera, former Rangers winger Neil McCann recently dispelled rumors about his potential involvement in Kevin Muscat's backroom team, had Muscat been appointed as the head coach of Glasgow Rangers. Despite apparent ties and friendly discussions with Muscat, McCann confirmed that the speculation held no substance, saying, "It was all speculation... there was never a stage where I was contacted by the club to say, 'Right, get your suit looked out again from last season, you're going back in'."

Backroom Speculations and Reality

McCann, along with ex-Rangers Billy Dodds, did step in temporarily alongside Barry Ferguson last season following the sacking of Philippe Clement. He revealed his fondness for his coaching stint at Ibrox, albeit brief, emphasizing how "absolute loved" being part of Rangers once again. However, he underlined the fleeting nature of the rumor mill, highlighting the importance of clarity and the lack of any concrete offer from the club.

Danny Rohl's Rocky Start

The spotlight has since shifted to Danny Rohl, who officially took over the reins but faced a rocky start with a disappointing Europa League defeat at Brann. However, Rohl and his squad quickly bounced back, securing a morale-boosting win against Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. McCann noted, "He's going to have to really think on his feet," as Rohl faces a relentless fixture list, including a high-pressure semi-final against bitter rivals Celtic and a challenging European encounter against Roma.

A Look Ahead

With a sequence of critical matches lined up, it's a galvanizing time for Rangers. As they navigate the tight schedule, they'll look to harness the momentum from their recent domestic triumph to make an impact in Europe and at home. Each game will be a test of metal for Rohl, who must swiftly adapt and strategize if Rangers are to claim their rightful place atop Scottish football once again.

Ending on a Lighter Note
