Three Rangers players could now be set for extended spells on the sidelines
Rangers have appointed Danny Rohl as their new manager which could lead to a few selection shake-ups in the team.
Despite Rangers being rejected in their managerial pursuit, Rohl will replace Russell Martin as the new boss of the stuttering Glaswegian side.
Rangers called off their push to bring back Kevin Muscat to the club, with Shanghai Port near the crucial end of their 2025 league campaign, delaying his arrival.
Rohl arrives at Ibrox to a team in disarray and under intense scrutiny.
Football Insider considers the players who could quickly be out of the plans of the new head coach.
Jayden Meghoma unable to keep up with Danny Rohl’s demanding fluidity
The Brentford loanee has endured a very mixed start to life in Glasgow and the coming of the former Sheffield Wednesday manager will have a negative effect on his game time.
The 19-year-old has been competing for a starting spot with Max Aarons yet, his poor defensive ability may prove to be inadequate for Rohl.
The German demands that his full-backs can adapt to ever-changing formations based on the opposition, potentially setting up in a traditional back four or as wing-back.
Jayden Meghoma’s lack of experience suggests he will struggle to grasp the new workload his manager will ask for, whereas Aarons’ ability to play as a right-back or left-back will be imperative to Rohl.
The full-backs will need to be versatile both in defence and attack under the new Gers boss and the Bees man may find himself in more tactical lessons off the pitch rather than on it.
Bojan Miovski lacking the dynamism Rohl needs at Rangers
The Teddy Bears have been struggling for a ruthless and clinical finishers up top this season, particularly after the departure of Cyriel Dessers.
Bojan Miovski has just one goal to his name in the 2025-26 campaign and his lack of goal threat may push Rohl to experiment with his strikers.
The German typically likes dynamic, fast and high-pressing forwards to initiate the first line of pressing and the North Macedonian may not be able to adapt to this.
At six-foot-two, the 26-year-old lacks agility and has also been frustrating to watch this season with his poor ball control.
It is possible Rohl opts to go with Danilo down the middle who emanates more of the qualities he wants in his striker with Miovski set for more minutes from the bench.
Joe Rothwell unlikely to fulfil high energy requirement for relentless pressing
The former Bournemouth midfielder has featured on a fairly regular basis, making 15 appearances in all competitions.
Joe Rothwell has started six of those matches and will be hoping the arrival of the ex-Sheffield Wednesday boss will lead to an uptick in minutes.
Yet, Rohl is on the hunt for ball-hungry midfielders who are able to jump to steal back possession when defending, something which the former Leeds man may struggle to do.
The number six is not renowned for his pace and agility and is better used as a metronome to dictate play from the middle of the pitch.
The 30-year-old may have to continue to settle for a bit part role as the German takes on his new role at the Ibrox.
