  1. 'I see so much potential'published at 15:44 BST 21 October

    Rangers head coach Danny Rohl: "We need wins in a row. I see so much potential.

    "If you can bring the squad together with your style of football... then you will go in a fantastic direction.

    "You can be the first, the second or the third choice. The important thing is to win games. I cannot tell you which choice I am. I am here."

    Another little nugget of info from the new head coach. Rohl took training this morning and says he saw great "intensity" from the players which pleased him greatly

  3. Thelwell 'never signed a player head coach doesn't want'published at 15:41 BST 21 October

    Rangers sporting director Kevin Thelwell: "The process that we've got is not a process that's new.

    "I've never signed a player that the head coach doesn't want.

    "I'm very much looking forward to working with [Danny Rohl]."

  4. Stewart 'understands hurt of fans'published at 15:40 BST 21 October

    Rangers chief executive Patrick Stewart: "The proof of the process is in terms of the outcome. We spoke to a number of different people. Some names ended in the media, some didn't.

    "I can understand that on the outside it looks like the process has gone awry.

    "Definitely need to take accountability. Completely understand the hurt that the fans feel. We do take our responsibility from mistakes made.

    "The results this season haven't been good enough. Nobody's been happy with those."

  5. 'Danny is who we wanted'published at 15:39 BST 21 October

    Chief executive Patrick Stewart says they got the man they wanted.

    A few raised eyebrows in the room, given the much-publicised courting of Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat

  6. 'This club has everything'published at 15:37 BST 21 October

    Rangers head coach Danny Rohl: "I'm really looking forward to being part of this amazing football club. We want to win, we need wins because we want to turn around the position at the moment.

    "I am looking for an ambitious club, a club that is wanting more. This club has everything for all these goals.

    "My job is clear. My focus is on my person, what I can bring to this football club. We want to create chances, we want to create goals. We want to defence as a team.

    "We have to win games then we can speak about playing attractive football."

    Communication will be key for Danny Rohl.

    The first thing I notice is that his English is excellent. He's holding court absolutely no problem in what is not his native language.

  8. 'Rohl knows winning is only option'published at 15:34 BST 21 October

    Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh: "We were incredibly impressed by his ability to take tactics and make them work on the pitch.

    "Danny will bring out the best in every one of our players. We are yet to see the best of our squad.

    "He gets it and has the ability to create a bond with our supporters. He knows that winning is the only option."

    Sure enough, at exactly 15:30 on the dot, in walk Patrick Stewart, Andrew Cavenagh, Danny Rohl and Kevin Thelwell. In that order.

    The Rohl era is underway...

    Here they come...

    For those of you interested, Danny Rohl is in shirt, blazer and tie. Unsure on the brown brogues situation.

    As an Owls fans living in Scotland, I think this a great appointment for Rangers. He works hard and got the absolute maximum out of a quite average squad with no resources. Exactly what Rangers need!

    Got to give the guy a fair chance. He’s chosen to come into a club during a difficult time following a particularly unpleasant atmosphere in his previous role. It shows a commitment to his work, he’s not hiding. I think we need to get behind him and hope that he can turn things around

    Frazer

    You have a top coach. Give him time and he will lead you to titles. The best manager we had at Hillsborough for a long time. Rangers have got a top man.

    As we await the arrival of the new Rangers head coach, there's a hubbub of chitter-chatter from the gathered media, arranged in five rows of seats, with TV cameras and photographers ringing us to the sides and at the back.

    Standing room only for some. Not me - I've just been ushered back so as not to block the aisles...

    Danny Rohl will be flanked by Rangers chairman Andrew Cavanagh, sporting director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Patrick Stewart.

    So here we go again. I could have sworn I did one of these about four months ago?

    Ah yes, back in June. The Russell Martin unveiling. Doesn't that seem like a long, long time ago now?

  19. Ready to Rohl...published at 15:15 BST 21 October

    Good afternoon everyone.
