Rangers Hand Rohl Final Say on January Signings as Thelwell Plans Active Window

Thelwell ties transfer control to a wider rebuild featuring staff hires plus renewed SFA dialogue.

Overview

  • Rangers expect to be fairly active in the January window, with Danny Rohl to make the final call on incoming players, Kevin Thelwell said.
  • The club is recruiting for a director of football operations and has added data specialist Jaymes Monte, with academy director Jonathan Hunter-Barron due to start in early 2026.
  • Thelwell said further coaching support is being pursued, ideally from someone with strong knowledge of Scottish football to assist Rohl.
  • Rangers will seek more talks with the SFA after disputing the decision not to dismiss Celtic’s Auston Trusty, with Thelwell calling the incident a clear red card.
  • Rohl has delivered three straight Premiership wins, though defeats to Brann and Roma in Europe and a Premier Sports Cup semi-final loss to Celtic underline ongoing challenges, as fan criticism of leadership continues.
