Rohl addressed the media for just under half an hour during his introductory press conference.
A mere four and a half months after Russell Martin’s inaugural press conference as Rangers head coach, his successor, Danny Rohl, faced the media at Ibrox for the first time.
The magnitude of the task before him is well-established, following Martin’s turbulent and ultimately unsuccessful 123-day tenure.
The former Sheffield Wednesday manager was accompanied by chairman Andrew Cavenagh, alongside sporting director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Patrick Stewart, figures who have faced considerable scrutiny.
But what key takeaways emerged from the 36-year-old German’s first public appearance as Rangers boss?

One central theme resonated strongly during Rohl’s first encounter with the Scottish media: the imperative to secure victories, and to do so swiftly.
His predecessor, Martin, lasted a mere 17 matches and 123 days. Consequently, the question arises: What timeframe does the new manager deem reasonable to steer the club in a new direction?
While strategically avoiding a direct response that could invite future pressure, Rohl’s message was unambiguous.
“Hopefully as soon as possible,” he stated. “This is crucial.
“In this business you have not so much time. You can speak about the long-term vision but we know it’s about the short-term and the short-term is about winning games. This is what I demand.
“One thing is also clear – I need all the players to understand how we want to play. I come back to my big headline: it’s winning, it’s attractive and it’s together. If you do this in that order, I’m convinced that I will stay very long here.”
Martin required a police escort to depart the Falkirk Stadium following his final match in charge.
The potential for toxicity within football clubs during periods of poor performance is well-documented. Protests have become almost commonplace on matchdays for both of Glasgow’s major clubs.
As Rangers’ youngest-ever head coach, Rohl was asked what qualities he believes he possesses to cope, and potentially thrive, in one of the most demanding roles in British football.
“I think pressure in this business is usual,” he said. “You have to learn that very quickly.
“I think some guys will maybe speak about my age but I’m 16 years down this path. I had a great opportunity to work with Bayern Munich and be just the assistant coach, but I felt what it means to be a head coach and the pressure you have.
“You start winning games and then some people will say you have to play nice football. That’s the next part but that’s exactly what I want to have. I enjoy that and I’m looking forward to the future.”
Thelwell faced numerous questions from the assembled media.
The appointment of his son, Robbie, as head of recruitment has drawn considerable attention, with some fans expressing doubts about his qualifications for the role.
However, he defended and clarified the decision to bring Thelwell Jnr to Ibrox.
“It’s always uncomfortable to hear and optically I think we all agreed when we made this step to appoint Robbie that he was going to be seen in a particular way,” Thelwell said.
“The reality of the situation is that we want to bring the very best talent here to Rangers.
“My view on Robbie’s career and situation is he didn’t need my help in football.
“He’s worked at Aston Villa as a senior scout, he then moved to Norwich City as head of scouting and then got promoted to player pathways manager.
“Before we recruited him, two Premier League clubs wanted to take him. What we did right at the start of the process was talk to Patrick, Andrew and [vice-chairman] Paraag Marathe about this situation.
“I was extremely transparent and I think Robbie probably went through a more rigorous process than anybody else who’s employed by this football club.
“What I do know is that he will work 25/8 to be successful in this football club and I’m looking forward to him proving that he’s going to be an excellent employee for Rangers.”
Thelwell also defended the signing of striker Youssef Chermiti, who joined Rangers for a reported initial fee of £8m, after failing to score in 24 appearances for Everton.
Thelwell was responsible for bringing the Portuguese youth international to Merseyside from Sporting, also for a significant £15m fee.
He was asked if he stands by his multi-million pound signing, who is yet to score in seven outings for the club.
“Yes, very much so,” Thelwell said. “I think Youssef Chermiti is a player who’s got huge potential.
“I’ve never doubted him in any way, shape or form. Again, I think Danny will help to get the best out of Youssef.
“It’s very early days for him, he’s a young talent and of course with young talents they sometimes take a little bit of time.
“But I’m certain over the course of his career here he’s going to prove that he’s a very, very good player.”
Stewart also faced scrutiny from the media, given the criticism he has received from some of the club’s supporters.
During the recent draw with Dundee United, a banner was displayed in the Sandy Jardine stand urging him, along with Thelwell, to leave the club.
Like his sporting director, Stewart addressed the issue directly.
“I totally understand the frustration and hurt that the supporters are feeling because results this season haven’t been good enough and nobody’s happy with those,” he said.
“The hurt and frustration they feel is mirrored within the boardroom.
“Also understand that there has to be an outlet for those frustrations and as chief executive, that’s me.
“I’m a lightning rod for those and my role as a leader is to absorb that, but also now to work harder and make sure that we turn this around. So we’ve got to earn that trust.”
Given his relative youth and limited experience in British football, following less than two years in charge of Sheffield Wednesday, Rohl’s handling of the press conference was remarkably smooth.
If he felt nervous, he did not betray it, maintaining a broad smile throughout and engaging with the assembled media readily and enthusiastically.
The renowned German punctuality and efficiency were evident from the outset, as he took his place at the head table in the press conference room precisely at 15:30, as scheduled.
He offered comprehensive answers, delivered in excellent English. His emphasis on securing victories before focusing on attractive football is likely to resonate positively with supporters.
He also made it clear that he intends to get straight down to business, with no time for hesitation. Officially appointed late on Monday, he has already conducted his first training session and expressed his delight with the players’ “intensity.”
He would be well-advised to prepare for intensity. He now finds himself front and center in the unforgiving glare of the Glasgow spotlight. His team trails Celtic by eight points, while Premiership leaders Hearts hold a 13-point advantage over Rangers. There is no time to lose.
He stated that he relishes a challenge. This is fortunate.
He has now embarked on what is arguably the most significant challenge of his career to date, one that could either elevate or derail his burgeoning coaching career.
