The BBC said Rangers will finish third behind Hearts and Celtic after suffering three straight defeats in the Scottish Premiership, and it noted Rohl replaced Russell Martin at Rangers in October.

Rohl also pointed to captain James Tavernier leaving after 11 years, with the BBC describing it as another summer rebuild at Rangers and noting multiple loan deals coming to an end.

Rohl said Rangers still have two league fixtures to complete, with Hibernian visiting Ibrox on Wednesday before an away trip to Falkirk to close the season, as he framed the final matches as a bridge into pre-season planning.

Board fractures and pressure

While Rohl said he has board backing, Football FanCast reported that defeat against Celtic left "sections" of the Rangers board questioning his future, with five major talking points emerging.

The outlet said those doubting Rohl’s managerial prowess were concerned about recent performances, the squad’s development under Rohl, the lack of progress in Europe, the style of his football and the recruitment to match it.

Football FanCast also cited a Rangers board split over whether sacking Rohl at this stage would be "incredibly harsh," arguing the German had not even taken charge of a full season at Ibrox.

Daily Record reported that Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh told Rohl he "WILL remain in charge at Ibrox next season," and it linked the pressure to post-split defeats to Motherwell, Hearts and Celtic.

The Daily Record account said the Old Firm loss at Parkhead condemned Rohl’s team to third spot, causing Rangers to miss out on potential Champions League qualification and leaving them dependent on Celtic winning the Scottish Cup against Dunfermline to snag a Europa League spot instead of the Conference League.

Summer rebuild and stakes

Across the coverage, the immediate stakes are tied to Rangers’ final league position and the shape of the next squad, with the BBC saying Rohl will face another summer rebuild after Rangers end the campaign without silverware once more.

Rohl told the BBC that "we have to take all the information and what we need into the new season," and he argued the club need more authority figures in the squad as captain James Tavernier prepares to leave after 11 years.

Rohl also said, "We need new leaders, more leaders for the dressing room," and he framed Tavernier’s departure as "a big signal" for how responsibility will be shared.

In the Daily Record account, Rohl said the squad rebuild "will be (significant)" and that changes began in January, with the club planning to bring "leadership in and quality in" over the summer.

With Rangers facing Hibs on Wednesday night, the BBC said Rohl insisted there is "no question" about his position, while the Daily Record emphasized that he had assurances from Andrew Cavenagh ahead of the next match.
