Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is used to seeing off many Rangers managers.

Well, another name is now taking up the doomed Ibrox seat because Rangers have appointed Danny Rohl as their new boss.

After Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat rejected the Rangers gig, the sixth-placed Premiership side turned to Rohl, and he conducted his press conference on Tuesday afternoon.

New Rangers boss Danny Rohl on beating Celtic and Hearts to the Premiership title

Hearts are the runaway leaders, but Celtic can pull them back at the weekend when the top two meet at Tynecastle.

Derek McInnes’ men are 13 points clear of Rangers, and eight points behind the champions of Scotland.

So, can Rohl and Rangers win the title, despite the ‘huge gap’, which was put to him in his presser? Well, he didn’t really answer the question, other than providing a typical media-trained answer.

Perhaps he’s a little nervous.

“What I believe is that you can win the very next game,” responded Rohl. “I think this is the crucial part.

“In football, we speak too far away. It doesn’t make much sense. But if we speak about the next games, it makes much, much sense.

“I will try everything, and I will put all my energy into winning the next games, and believe. I believe if we get this group running, and the self-confidence comes back, they can win game by game by game. This is my total conviction.”
