ANNOUNCEMENT:📢Rangers manager Danny Rohl may be preparing to make a bold call that could transform his side’s season, with growing signs that a much-maligned first-team player — previously deemed surplus to requirements by football chief Kevin Thelwell — is set for a fresh opportunity at Ibrox.

Rangers’ inconsistency this season has placed pressure on Rohl to find new solutions, and with injuries mounting and form dipping in key areas, the German coach is now weighing up the possibility of unleashing a player many had written off. Sources inside the club suggest that the player — signed with high expectations but branded a “flop” after failing to cement a regular starting role — has impressed Rohl in recent training sessions, showing sharpness, aggression and creativity previously missing from his game.

Thelwell had explored options to replace him during the summer window, with Rangers linked to a number of wide and midfield reinforcements. But with deals failing to materialise and the squad now stretched, the door has unexpectedly reopened.

Rohl, who has built a reputation for reviving careers through tactical clarity and man-management, reportedly believes the player still has the attributes to thrive in his high-energy, vertical system. His pace, pressing ability and one-v-one threat fit naturally into the style Rohl is trying to implement — the very qualities the manager describes as having “Antman-like” impact, small details that create big differences.

The upcoming fixtures may offer the perfect stage. Rangers are in need of spark, unpredictability and hunger, and Rohl is not afraid to gamble on a redemption arc if it benefits the team.

If the player seizes the moment, the story could shift from failed signing to surprise upgrade — and perhaps even vindicate Rohl’s belief that the squad still contains untapped potential despite previous doubts.

For now, all eyes are on Rohl’s next team sheet. The opportunity is there. The question is whether the former outcast is ready to silence critics and become the Ibrox “Antman upgrade” Rangers have been waiting for.
