Danny Rohl dismisses Rangers lack of Scottish player critics

During the recent loss to Hearts, 16 players were used, none of whom were Scottish.

This has drawn criticism from Ibrox legend Ally McCoist, who believes a Scottish core is important.

However, Rohl, the Rangers head coach, insists it’s not about nationality but about having the right players.

He said: “I think it’s for me not about Scottish players or not Scottish players.



“I think it’s about to have the right players. They can deliver consistently under the highest pressure again and again.

“I think for me it doesn’t matter which age it is, which culture, from which country they are coming.

“For me, it’s just important that they and that we, and this is important, we can deliver 90 minutes.

“Not just a good performance, 90 minutes for a good result and it means a win.”

Rangers are likely to have another busy summer transfer window as Rohl attempts to shape his squad for greater success.

When asked about a potential rebuild, Rohl said: “I would say since I’m here we start to rebuild and to bring new players in.

“I think, and I take it not as an excuse, but very important, and this is what I took also for my time in Munich, to win titles you have to be on point in April and May.

“I think this is very crucial.

“When we look to ourselves at the moment, we are not in every position on our highest level where we should be.

“Unfortunately, you have with Tuur and Ryan, for example, two key players in the moment out where they should not be.

“You have with Mikey, since six weeks, we manage him that he comes through.

“Dujon, all the small pieces, exactly in these five games in the split you have to be on point.

“I take it not as an excuse, but you look into the full picture and then you think maybe these are exactly the two small details now to take it and to bring it to the end.”
