Rangers Transfer Latest: Head Coach Danny Röhl ‘knocking on the Door’ for More January Signings

Rangers’ Quest for More January Signings

Rangers head coach Danny Röhl is keeping his fingers crossed for more signings in January as he prepares the team to face Ludogorets Razgrad in their penultimate Europa League group phase fixture. This match, scheduled for Thursday night at Ibrox, marks a crucial step towards securing any points that could be valuable for next season’s Champions League co-efficient.

Consulting Daily with Recruitment Team

Röhl revealed his ongoing dialogue with the Rangers recruitment department, emphasizing the importance of bolstering his squad. The head coach confirmed that the signing of three new players – Andreas Skov Olsen, Tochi Chukwuani, and Tuur Rommens – has already provided a positive impact on the team’s performance.

Current Squad Strength

Rangers have added three new faces to their squad in January. These signings include:

• Andreas Skov Olsen, a Danish winger, who has already been seen training with the first team.
• Tochi Chukwuani, a Danish midfielder, who is expected to contribute significantly in midfield.
• Tuur Rommens, a Belgian left-back, who brings defensive strength to the right flank.

Despite these additions, Röhl remains eager for more. “I think you can imagine I knock every day on the door of the recruitment department and ask something new,” he said. The coach is optimistic that they can still secure additional talent before the window closes.

Injury Update

While the new signings bring hope, Röhl also faces challenges with injuries. Defender John Souttar, who was recently signed, will miss this week’s games due to an unspecified injury. This comes as a setback for the team, but Röhl remains positive about the overall squad strength.

“It’s good to have these three players here, and then it’s about timing now,” said Röhl. “We have a clear idea, and now we have to wait, maybe there’s a domino (effect) on the other club, and then we can take this opportunity for us.” The head coach emphasized that while he is not yet finished in his quest for new signings, they are focused on preparing for their upcoming matches.

Europa League Outlook

The Light Blues are effectively out of the Europa League after taking only one point from 18 and none of the new recruits can play in Europe. However, Röhl is not deterred by this situation. “The good thing is that my team showed me in the last couple of weeks that they can, except from Hearts, beat everyone at the moment,” he said.

Rangers will host Ludogorets Razgrad on Thursday night, looking to secure their first win in the league phase of the Europa League. “We won’t rest too many players for tomorrow,” Röhl added. “We’ll go with a strong group.” The coach is focused on registering a victory that could be crucial in terms of co-efficient points for next season’s Champions League.

While the team faces challenges, Röhl remains confident about their performance and future prospects. “But this is now the next seven to 10 days, we have to be ready when we have to be ready,” he concluded. The head coach believes that the new signings will enhance the squad’s overall quality and help them achieve their goals.

As Rangers gear up for their crucial match, all eyes will be on how the team performs under Röhl’s guidance with these new additions. The upcoming fixtures against Ludogorets Razgrad could well define their season and set the stage for a successful future.
