The 35-year-old German coach, appointed earlier this week, vowed to bring intensity, structure, and unity back to the club. But those promises are set for an immediate test as he navigates injuries, form issues, and tactical dilemmas before his Ibrox debut.
1. Injury Concerns Mounting
Several key players remain doubts for the European tie, leaving Rohl with selection headaches in defence and midfield. Balancing fitness risks with the need for a strong start could define his first outing in the dugout.
2. Finding the Right Tactical Balance
Rohl’s philosophy revolves around high pressing and quick transitions, but implementing that system with a squad still adjusting to new demands won’t be easy. The challenge lies in achieving early cohesion without sacrificing defensive solidity.
3. Restoring Confidence in the Dressing Room
After a turbulent run of results and managerial changes, morale has dipped at Ibrox. Rohl’s first major test will be rekindling belief and convincing players to buy into his project — starting tonight under the European spotlight.
Despite the early challenges, Rohl remains calm and focused. Speaking earlier this week, he insisted there is “no time to waste” in turning Rangers back into a dominant force both domestically and in Europe.
The Ibrox faithful will be eager to see signs of progress when the German leads his side out for the first time — and how he handles these early hurdles could set the tone for the months ahead.
