Simon Jordan Lifts Lid on Private Danny Röhl Verdict After Rangers’ Statement Win Over Hearts
Former Crystal Palace owner and outspoken pundit Simon Jordan has revealed what he’s been told privately about Danny Röhl and the remarkable impact he is already having at Rangers — following their impressive victory over Heart of Midlothian in the Scottish Premiership title race.
Rangers’ latest performance against Hearts was more than just three points. It was a statement. With the pressure intensifying at the top of the table, the Ibrox side delivered a display full of intensity, structure and belief — qualities many are now attributing directly to Röhl’s influence behind the scenes.
Speaking about the German coach, Jordan disclosed that conversations within football circles suggest Röhl’s tactical clarity and meticulous preparation have transformed the mood and professionalism within the Rangers camp. According to Jordan, those in the know describe Röhl as “obsessive in the right way” — a coach who leaves no detail unchecked.
“People I’ve spoken to in the game,” Jordan explained, “say his work on the training ground has been immediate and visible. He’s brought a different level of tactical discipline and clarity to Rangers.”
The win over Hearts underlined that assessment. Rangers pressed with coordination, defended compactly, and transitioned with speed. There was a cohesion that had sometimes been missing earlier in the campaign. Players appeared confident in their roles, and the game management — particularly in the latter stages — reflected a side that understood exactly what was required.
Jordan also suggested that Röhl’s communication style has resonated strongly within the dressing room. Described as calm but demanding, he reportedly combines modern data-driven analysis with strong man-management skills. That blend, Jordan hinted, is crucial in a title race where mental resilience often proves decisive.
What has particularly impressed observers is how quickly Röhl has embedded his philosophy. Arriving with a growing reputation as one of Germany’s bright young coaching minds, there were initial questions about whether he could adapt swiftly to the unique pressures of Scottish football — especially at a club like Rangers, where expectations are relentless.
However, insiders have told Jordan that Röhl has embraced the challenge head-on. His sessions are said to be intense, sharply focused, and tailored to exploit opponents’ weaknesses. Against Hearts, Rangers looked like a side that had done their homework thoroughly.
Jordan was quick to temper excitement with realism, noting that consistency will ultimately define Röhl’s tenure. “It’s one thing producing a big result,” he said, “but sustaining it across a title run-in is the true test.” Nonetheless, he made it clear that early indicators are highly encouraging.
The victory over Hearts keeps Rangers firmly in the title conversation and injects renewed belief into their supporters. More importantly, it reinforces the growing narrative that Röhl’s methods are taking hold at precisely the right moment in the season.
If the private messages relayed to Jordan are accurate, Rangers may have secured not just a short-term uplift, but a long-term architect capable of reshaping their competitive edge. With the title race heating up, all eyes will remain on Ibrox to see whether Röhl’s quiet revolution can deliver the ultimate prize.
