Former Liverpool captain withdraws from talks
Danny Röhl held talks with Ibrox ownership last week
The former Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Röhl is now the favourite to succeed Russell Martin at Rangers after Steven Gerrard dramatically withdrew from talks over the Ibrox post.
Gerrard, who had returned from the Middle East to meet with Ibrox officials in London, had been the overwhelming choice of the Rangers support. Those directors now face an even bigger challenge to win over a seriously disgruntled fan base. Rangers want a new manager in place before Dundee United visit Ibrox on Saturday.
Martin’s disastrous, 123-day Rangers stint ended after the draw at Falkirk on Sunday. Thoughts immediately turned towards Gerrard, who was in charge at Ibrox between 2018 and 2021. The former Liverpool captain has been out of work since leaving Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia late January but has remained based in Bahrain.
