How will Rohl be remembered after Rangers exit?

Last month, Danny Rohl said he was "100% convinced" he would remain as Rangers manager for the new season despite a hugely disappointing end to the previous campaign. And yet, he has left to become RB Salzburg boss with Hearts head coach Derek McInnes widely expected to take over. The German leaves Ibrox having failed to win a trophy in his eight-month stay and abiding memories of his tenure will be of a timid end to the Premiership season. Rohl's side went into the split just one point behind leaders Hearts, but ultimately finished third after four defeats in their final five matches of the season. That, combined with defeats by rivals Celtic in both domestic cups, meant the season was unquestionably a failure despite substantial investment in the transfer market. Admittedly, lots of that money was spent before Rohl's arrival under previous head coach Russell Martin and sporting director Kevin Thelwell, but Ryan Naderi, Tochi Chukwuani, Tuur Rommens and Andreas Skov Olsen were all brought in under Rohl's watch. And despite the faith shown in Rohl, Rangers collapsed when it mattered and the ire from the club's supporters was obvious as their title tilt faltered. There is now a familiar feel to this summer as Rangers prepare for yet another rebuild under yet another new head coach. Rohl will be remembered as a coach who turned things around after Rangers started the season so slowly under Martin, but as with several before him, he failed to truly challenge Celtic's domestic dominance. Indeed, it was his likely successor McInnes who did that most effectively, albeit falling at the final hurdle.
