Mikey Moore Says Fan Criticism May Have Influenced Danny Rohl’s Rangers Exit

Mikey Moore has admitted that Danny Rohl’s departure from Rangers surprised him, while suggesting the criticism aimed at the German manager may have played a part in his decision to leave Ibrox. Moore said he had expected Rohl to stay, believing the coach was building something at the club. Rohl, who had received backing from Rangers’ American ownership, instead moved to Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg. Rangers have since appointed a new manager, whom Moore says is doing well and continuing the work left behind. The young footballer acknowledged that Rohl may have been affected by the reaction from supporters. He recalled that when Rohl took charge, Rangers were in a difficult position, and said few people expected the side to be close to the top of the table with five matches remaining. Moore praised the progress made during that spell, saying Rohl had brought the team within a point of Hearts at the league split and given them a chance that many had not thought possible. He described the way the campaign ended as disappointing, but stressed that responsibility for the outcome did not rest with the manager alone. In Moore’s view, results reflected a combination of factors involving the players and the wider team. He said he could not be certain why Rohl chose to move on, but remained convinced that the manager had done a very good job from the time he arrived until his departure. His comments offer a player’s perspective on the exit: admiration for Rohl’s work, surprise at the timing, and the possibility that a strained relationship with fans helped shape the decision. Moore stopped short of presenting that as the confirmed reason, making clear that he did not know exactly what prompted Rohl’s choice.
