Keith Wyness Breaks Silence On The Growing Late Criticism On Rangers Manager: Should They Stick With Rohl?

Keith Wyness, the former Aberdeen, Everton , and Aston Villa chief executive who now advises elite clubs through a football consultancy, told Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast that the Rangers fanbase should feel reassured rather than unsettled by what they have seen from their manager. What did Wyness say about Rangers and Rohl’s dressing room stance? Wyness argued, per Football Insider , that Rohl drew a clear line with every player in the dressing room by telling them, in effect, to either commit to his direction or accept the consequences.

Wyness noted that words had been exchanged between Rohl and Tavernier and stated that Rohl had shown his authority as Rangers manager. That is exactly what the club need. He acknowledged that a long-serving captain like Tavernier would naturally carry influence and expect certain treatment, but Rohl confronted that dynamic head-on rather than managing around it.

Wyness added that with new players arriving in the summer, Rohl’s position in the dressing room will strengthen further, and he saw no issue with how the manager handled the entire situation. “Rangers have got some challenges for next season, and Rohl is showing strong leadership. Rohl has taken on all the dressing room to a degree and said, ‘Right, you follow me, or you don’t’.

He’s got the power to be able to do that now and move forward. With some new players coming in, that will help him with that as well. “There was obviously going to be tension with Tavernier having been there so long.
