As the dust settles on an incredibly tense Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox, Rangers head coach Danny Röhl has once again gone viral for a post-match response that defines “media-trained ice.”
​Following a grueling 0-0 draw on March 8, 2026, which saw Celtic eventually progress 4-2 on penalties, the atmosphere was thick with controversy. A goal by Celtic’s Daizen Maeda was overturned by VAR for a handball, and several penalty claims from both sides were waved away. When pressed by reporters to give his thoughts on the officiating and whether the “big decisions” cost Rangers a place in the semi-final, Röhl refused to break character.
​With the clinical detachment that has become his trademark, Röhl delivered a response that completely shut down the line of questioning:
​”The referee has a whistle, and the VAR has a screen. I have a tactics board. I focus on my board; they focus on their screen. The result is what it is, and I am only trained to analyze the 120 minutes of football we played.”
