VISIT THE RANGERS MATCH HUBDanny Rohl criticised for John Souttar new dealSouttar has been far from impressive for Rangers this season.
MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES The centre-back has made numerous mistakes at the Gers this season that have been punished by their opponents.His decline in ability was on full show yet again on the weekend when his appearance from the bench helped to kill the momentum the hosts had established.As a result, the decision to award Souttar a new contract until 2027 appears odd, and fans were quick to take to X to use this to criticise both the defender and Rohl.Souttar should never have been given a new deal, he’s done.— Zac Morrison (@zacmorrison55) March 9, 2026 Souttar came on and was instantly the worst player on that park https://t.co/x7pug01tW9— Claire Innes (@CInnes1972) March 9, 2026 Get rid of every single one. Oh wait we gave Souttar a new deal🤦🏻♂️— Lewis Ross (@LewisRoss1872) March 9, 2026 Souttar made everything worse when he came on.
He is horrific.New contract but.. well done to everyone involved 🙄 https://t.co/1MGWlzTdHI— Kieran (@KMCL96) March 8, 2026 Rangers have made some really poor decisions in the last 10 years or so, but rewarding John Souttar with a new contract is right up there with the worst— cameron (@camcrawford99) March 8, 2026 Wouldn’t make a massive difference..Royl had improved us but we are still very soft. If Tav ,Butland, Raskin,Souttar are still at Rangers come May, he will be judged very harshly , and rightly so.— BlueTommy (@TommyStark1980) March 8, 2026 Could Danny Rohl be sacked by Rangers?Football Insider has exclusively revealed that Rohl won’t be sacked by Rangers at present despite their Scottish Cup exit.As it stands, the Gers are happy with Rohl’s work, with their league position improving since he took over from Russell Martin.There have been growing calls in recent weeks for the manager to be sacked as results continue to plummet.I wouldn’t blame Cavenagh if he doesn’t give Rohl another penny in the summer, I wouldn’t.I’d give him the first three months of the season and if Rangers aren’t sitting top of the league he’s out the door.Major red flags hanging over his head now.— 𝙏𝙤𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙚 (@rockthekasbah88) March 8, 2026 With their exit from the Scottish Cup, Rangers are extremely likely to end the season trophyless as they remain third in the Scottish Premiership, six points behind Heart of Midlothian at the summit.On top of this, there is also a chance that they are flung into the Europa Conference League next season.
