O’Neill, who recently returned to Celtic in a caretaker capacity, had offered a brief and seemingly dismissive three-word verdict on Rangers’ chances of challenging for the Scottish Premiership crown following their 3–1 win over Kilmarnock on Sunday.
But Röhl was quick to respond, urging focus and respect while defending his team’s progress under his leadership.
“I don’t listen too much to outside noise,” Röhl said. “We are building something here, step by step, with belief and hard work. Everyone can have their opinion, but what matters is what we do on the pitch.”
The German tactician added that his players were “fully committed” to maintaining their momentum after securing back-to-back league wins and restoring confidence among supporters.
“We showed real character against Kilmarnock,” he continued. “If we keep improving and playing with this mentality, then we will see where it takes us. Our focus is always on the next game, not on what others say.”
Röhl’s response reflects a calm but firm stance as Rangers continue to adapt under his management, with growing optimism that the club can mount a serious challenge this season despite O’Neill’s remarks.
