\n The Ibrox club named the 36-year-old German as Russell Martin’s successor.\n<\/p>\n

\n Steven Gerrard<\/a> and Kevin Muscat were both in the running for the role at different stages, but Rohl impressed during the recruitment process.\n<\/p>\n

\n Rohl’s appeal lies in his coaching skills and experience at clubs with high expectations.\n<\/p>\n

\n However, some have expressed concern over his lack of experience as a head coach and his similarity in profile to Martin.\n<\/p>\n

\n Former club captain Ferguson, who was interim boss last season, has vowed to support the new man in charge.\n<\/p>\n

\n Speaking on Go Radio, he said: “It’s been a long two weeks for the Rangers<\/a> fans.\n<\/p>\n

\n “It looked like Steven Gerrard<\/a> was coming back, I was quite happy with that.\n<\/p>\n

\n “The contract negotiations didn’t go well, then Kevin Muscat looked to be getting the job.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Again, I think that would have been a really good appointment because he’s been a manager for 12 years and he’s doing a fine job in Asia.\n<\/p>\n

\n “On Sunday night it breaks that Muscat isn’t getting the job and then it’s Danny Rohl – who last week ruled himself out.\n<\/p>\n

\n “So it’s been a bit of a crazy 15 or 16 days for the Rangers fans.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Now they’ve got a new manager in place, I’ve seen that he likes to set high standards… his high standards have got to be winning games of football as quickly as possible.\n<\/p>\n

\n “If he does that, he’ll certainly get the support of the Rangers supporters.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Rangers are currently sitting sixth in the Premiership, with only one win from eight after drawing with Dundee United at the weekend.\n<\/p>\n

\n However, Ferguson insists that he is not concerned about their league position at this stage and believes a title race could still be on the cards.\n<\/p>\n

\n He said: “No, not at this stage.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Eight games.\n<\/p>\n

\n “30 games to go.\n<\/p>\n

\n “90 points to play for.\n<\/p>\n

\n “There’s still a lot of football.\n<\/p>\n

\n “They are still in four competitions.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Hopefully he can come in and certainly make a difference.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Rohl is set to face his first challenge as manager on Thursday night in a game against Brann.\n<\/p>\n

\n Ferguson believes that if Rohl can start winning games quickly, he will gain the support of the Rangers fans.\n<\/p>\n

\n He added: “One thing I’ll be doing is getting right behind him.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Ferguson also commented on the upcoming match between Celtic<\/a> and Hearts, saying: “The best result for Rangers is a draw at Tynecastle.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Rangers beat Kilmarnock and then it’s back on.\n<\/p>\n

\n “It can change so quickly.\n<\/p>\n

\n “And the big thing for Derek McInnes and Hearts is that he needs to keep his best players injury-free.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ibrox club named the 36-year-old German as Russell Martin’s successor.
