Rangers manager Danny Rohl enters Sunday's match against Celtic facing intense scrutiny after his title bid faltered. Recent struggles include a failure to maintain a first-half lead against Hearts and a poor record against the league's top six. Rohl specifically blamed a lack of player movement for their inability to find space during the Tynecastle defeat.

Critics point to Rohl's inability to outsmart Martin O'Neill, including a previous instance where Rangers surrendered a 2-0 league derby lead. The manager also faced questions for benching Mikey Moore, widely considered the team's best player this season. Exiting both cup competitions to their rivals has further damaged his standing with the Ibrox faithful.

Despite the friction, Rohl has improved maligned players like Youssef Chermiti and integrated January signings such as Tuur Rommens. He recently admitted that the club has failed to win expected trophies over the last 15 years, arguing that a culture shift is required. A victory on Sunday serves as the only immediate way to silence the growing noise.
