Danny Rohl is under immense pressure at Rangers going into the final match of the Scottish Premiership season.

While the Gers are not playing for anything, having already been guaranteed a third-place finish, a win is imperative for the manager.

Rohl will be desperate to avoid five successive defeats in the league, something that would almost certainly see him dismissed in the summer.

However, despite Falkirk’s poor post-split form, many stats indicate they will do well against the Gers.

As a result, a new Rangers manager could be on the horizon, with the visitors on the verge of another winless result.

Rangers look set to struggle vs Falkirk

Going into the match, many stats are in Falkirk’s favour.

According to BBC Sport on 15 May, Falkirk have only lost one of their past five home league meetings against Rangers, winning two and drawing two.

On top of this, despite losing their last two matches, the hosts have not lost three league games in a row in the top-flight since March 2010.

As a result, all the signs point towards Falkirk at least getting a point on Saturday as they aim to finish their fantastic campaign on a high.

However, such a result will inevitably lead to Rohl being sacked by Rangers.

At the Old Firm side, victories are expected in every domestic fixture, and if you fail to win for five consecutive games, your job is simply untenable.

Will Rohl be sacked by Rangers?

Football Insider has exclusively revealed that Rohl is facing growing calls to be sacked at Rangers.

The club’s miserable run of form has been viewed as unacceptable as pressure piles on the manager heading into the final game of the season.

Now, the board will be forced to make a decision on Rohl’s future as questions are being asked on whether he is the right man to lead the club forward.

Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if Rangers will sack Rohl after the recent run of form, after only appointing him in October.

If the trigger is pulled it is also unknown who the Gers would look to appoint, with Steven Gerrard being one name which has been linked to Ibrox for some time after impressing in the role earlier this decade.
