“Fans Don’t Want Him on the shirt anymore” Furious Danny Röhl Delivers Brutal Post-Match Verdict That Stuns Ibrox

Rangers manager Danny Röhl delivered one of his most direct public criticisms to date as his side were held to a 1–1 draw by Braga in the Europa League at Ibrox.

Röhl appeared visibly frustrated when he arrived for his post-match media duties.

The German coach, who normally offers measured reflections on his team’s performances, gave a notably sharper response when asked about a player who struggled throughout the evening. Reporters had sensed his irritation before he confirmed the source.

“Fans don’t want him anymore,” Röhl said. “The reaction in the stadium told its own story. The supporters expect a certain standard and they did not see it from him tonight.”

Only in his follow-up remarks did Röhl specify that he was referring to Youssef Chermiti, who started and played 89 minutes but found himself at the centre of growing frustration from the home support. The forward appeared isolated for large spells and was unable to influence key moments in the final third. His substitution near the end was met with clear discontent from sections of the crowd.

Rangers lose control after strong first half

The evening had begun positively for the home side. Rangers took the lead in first-half stoppage time when captain James Tavernier converted a penalty in the 45+3 minute. The award came after sustained pressure and gave Röhl’s team a deserved advantage at the interval.

Braga responded well in the second half and punished Rangers for a drop in intensity. The visitors equalised in the 69th minute through Gorka Martínez, who finished a swift counter-attacking move to silence much of the Ibrox support. From that point onwards, Rangers struggled to regain control.

Rangers attempted to push for a late winner through Abdallah Sima and Todd Cantwell, but their pressure lacked precision, and clear chances were limited. With Rangers unable to reassert command, the frustration in the stands grew steadily, particularly toward Chermiti’s performance.

Röhl did not hide his disappointment as he evaluated the match.

“This club demands bravery and responsibility,” he said. “Braga wanted the result more than we did in certain phases of the game. That cannot happen at this level.”

When asked whether Chermiti’s place in the squad remained secure, the manager offered no assurances.

“Nothing is guaranteed. Players must earn their place every week. Some have work to do and they know it.”

Röhl’s comments were among the most pointed he has made since his arrival, highlighting the level of concern within the coaching staff about the team’s attacking effectiveness.

Mixed reaction among supporters

Outside Ibrox, supporters expressed a range of views. Several agreed with Röhl’s assessment, noting a lack of impact from the forward across recent matches. Others urged patience and pointed out the player’s age and relative inexperience at this level.

The reaction illustrated the growing scrutiny surrounding Rangers’ attacking options as they enter a demanding run of fixtures both domestically and in Europe.

The draw keeps Rangers in contention to progress, but it leaves their position in the group less secure than it might have been. A victory would have provided a clearer path to qualification. Instead, the remaining fixtures now carry greater significance.

Röhl stressed the need for an immediate response in performances and results.

“We cannot afford to let chances slip. The team understands the expectations and the standards required.”

Forward faces a crucial period

For Chermiti, the coming weeks may prove decisive. Signed as a developing talent with potential to grow into a long-term option, he now finds himself under heightened pressure following the manager’s unusually candid remarks.

Whether Röhl’s comments were intended as motivation or reflect deeper concerns remains unclear. What is certain is that the player will be closely observed by supporters and coaching staff in the matches ahead.

The scrutiny surrounding his role at the club is no longer a quiet discussion among fans. It has now become part of the wider narrative that will shape Rangers’ European and domestic ambitions in the weeks to come.
