More from Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh, who introduce Danny Rohl at today’s news conference: “When we became a part of this club this summer, we talked about two things – sustained winning and winning sustainably.
“Four months later, it has obviously not gone as we’d envisaged. We did not expect it to be easy but we also didn’t expect to be where we are today.
“Part of that was the decision we made over the summer to appoint Russell [Martin] as the head coach. It did not go as planned. Russell is a good guy. He worked tirelessly. He wanted desperately to win and I wish him well but it didn’t work.
“If something doesn’t work, I think there’s three things that you need to do. You need to acknowledge it, you need to own it, which I believe that we have done and you need to rectify it and today is a big part in that.
“We are happy to have Danny here as our head coach. I think Danny will be incredibly successful here at Rangers. We were incredibly impressed by his ability to take tactics and actually make them happen on the pitch.
“Man management – I think Danny will bring out the best of every one of our players and that we will soon see the best version of each of them.”
And the American added: “He is confident, he is technical. He also has a little bit of an edge to him and I think that will serve him well.
“We remain incredibly optimistic about this football club. We still have everything in front of us to play for this year. I think we have yet to see the best of our squad and I look forward to seeing what Danny can bring out of them.
“We know that they have been disappointed it. We recognise that. Everybody at the club is going to work tirelessly to get us back to what everyone so desperately wants, which is winning football matches.”
