Rangers have ended their search for a new head coach by appointing Danny Rohl on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
The 36-year-old German was in charge of Sheffield Wednesday between October 2023 and July 2025 following coaching roles with RB Leipzig, Southampton, Bayern Munich and Germany.
With Rangers sitting sixth in the Scottish Premiership, with just one win from eight games, is Rohl the man to revive the club's fortunes?
Danny Rohl, 36, left Sheffield Wednesday by mutual consent in the summer after spells as an assistant with RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and the German national team.
The young coach twice staved off relegation with the embattled South Yorkshire club, finishing 12th in the English Championship in his one full season in charge.
That was an impressive achievement given Wednesday's financial struggles. Now he will have to invigorate and motivate a struggling Rangers squad.
Like his predecessor Russell Martin, Rohl was not the overwhelming top pick of the Rangers support, especially after Steven Gerrard's withdrawal and a breakdown in talks with Kevin Muscat.
However, former Scotland midfielder Barry Bannan believes the German will have no problem making a positive first impression.
"Danny was really good, he had a winning mindset from his first meeting," Bannan, who was Wednesday's captain during Rohl's spell, told BBC Scotland.
"He was a young manager so the boys were intrigued to see how he would go about it, but we all left that meeting knowing we had a top, top manager on our hands. He was only young but came across highly confident.
"He is very passionate. He took to Sheffield Wednesday and the fans took to him right away because of the passion he showed.
"I know he is up for a battle - he came to us when we were rock bottom and looked likely to be relegated, but we stayed up that year and kicked on.
"A lot of people seem to forget he worked at a massive club in Bayern Munich. I know he was assistant there, but he would have got a taste of something similar to the Old Firm teams because it's all about winning games.
"I'll put my neck out on the line and say he is the best manager I have worked under. He is brilliant."
Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh: "We're very pleased to welcome Danny to Rangers, an ambitious coach who shares the club's hunger for progress and success.
"His experience at elite level, in high-pressure environments, makes him a strong fit for what we expect here.
"We know the past few months have been challenging, but our focus has always been on getting the right person, who is ready to immediately embrace this football club and the demands that come with it.
"Danny impressed us with his vision, his character and his understanding of what Rangers stands for. We believe he can help restore pride, momentum and ultimately success."
Rangers vice-chairman Paraag Marathe: "This has been a thorough process to ensure we identified the right person to lead the club forward.
"Danny clearly has tactical intelligence and a hunger to match the ambitions of Rangers. With Danny at the helm, we intend to compete through every minute on the pitch in all competitions."
Rangers chief executive Patrick Stewart: "Danny brings real conviction, clarity and leadership to the role.
"We know results this season have fallen below our expectations, but with Danny and his staff in place, we're confident we can get this season back on track.
"It's now our job to give him every support possible to move the club forward quickly and decisively."
Rangers sporting director Kevin Thelwell: "Danny has the qualities required to succeed here, allied with being an exceptional coach.
"He has worked in some of the most demanding football environments in the world, where winning is the only expectation, and we believe that background has prepared him for Rangers.
"His job will be to get the best out of the players and build a team that, first and foremost, wins as we all target success this season."
Danny Rohl has been confirmed as Rangers' new head coach - less than a week after the German ruled himself out of the running.
The 36-year-old's last managerial position was with Sheffield Wednesday in the English Championship.
"It is a huge privilege to be taking on the role of head coach at such an incredible club, recognised around the world," Rohl said.
"I know it has been a difficult start to the season, but there is still so much to play for in four competitions, and my staff and I will give it everything to reward the supporters and the club.
"The expectations here are clear. The fans want to see results now - my mentality and experience is to think in exactly the same way and I have belief in the players that we can achieve this.
"We have no time to waste, we start straight away. I respect that trust is earned and understand we have to give the supporters confidence in what we are doing by showing it on the pitch from the start.
"The expectations are huge and I love this challenge because I set high standards for myself and the team too.
"Rangers is built on a tradition of hard work, unity and success - that is exactly what you will get from me and what I want my team to represent for all of you.
"I'm looking forward to meeting the squad and getting down to work ahead of Thursday's game away to Brann."
As Rangers' hunt for a new head coach continues, we asked you who you think should be Russell Martin's replacement now that Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat are reportedly out of the running.
Here's what some of you said:
Edward: What about David Martindale? Done a great job for Livingston. Could do a lot worse.
Stephen: Ange is free!
Gavin: Utter shambles. At least Ange is available now, I'm sure he would welcome a return to Glasgow!
Chico: It feels very much like we need to bring Ally McCoist back in again and rebuild for some incredible times ahead, not keep bringing in a head coach that will be inadequate and under pressure from the fans.
Elyag: Get Giovanni van Bronckhorst back, should never have sacked him.
Michael: Give the job to Barry Ferguson, at least he has heart. He did a good job as interim manager before.
Ian: It's so obvious. Bring back Ferguson and his backroom staff. Bring back pride, credibility, passion and integrity and what it means to wear the shirt. A winner, an international player and an inspirational coach with an unparalleled knowledge of a great club. Second-rate coaches need no longer apply.
John: I would go for either Stephen Robinson or Jim Goodwin. Both managers have been around and have done well with smaller teams. Would really like Jim Goodwin as I feel he has the character required to be our manager.

Watch all the highlights as Dundee United fight back to draw 2-2 with Rangers in Scottish Premiership
We asked for your thoughts after Rangers' 2-2 draw with Dundee United.
Here's a taste of what you had to say:
James: Bojan Miovski was an empty shirt yesterday and will need to improve if he wants to play for Rangers. Good to see Thelo Aasgard getting on scoresheet for Rangers. A first half that was everything it should have been, except the goals.
Sue: Just when you thought this team had morphed into a dynamic attacking force now that the shackles of Russell Martin had been shaken off we witnessed their vulnerability and inherent weaknesses. There is also what you might call nastiness amongst the crowd who very quickly turned when Rangers looked like losing again.
Billy: The first half was such a different, positive Rangers. However in the second half we reverted to type. Warriors to worriers. So, so disappointing. It's blatantly obvious that too many players hide.
Colin: Too late in making changes. Team lost their way early in second half - why leave it until 70 mins to change? Needed the drive of Lyall Cameron or Connor Barron early on but left Joe Rothwell on. Steven Smith should have acted and been decisive.
Brian: First half performance flattered to deceive with the positivity of the crowd pushing for more goals but they never materialised so the game was left in the balance. It all reverted to type in the second half for Rangers and the negativity of the crowd very quickly resurfaced in the blink of an eye as another demoralising defeat was on the cards. Some positivity from the game but overall the weaknesses of this team were exposed all too easily.
Callum: Even though we didn't win it was a much improved performance from the drivel Russell Martin was producing. Defensive weaknesses have to be addressed and I'm sure once Kevin Muscat gets his claws into them things will get better.
Rangers' goalkeeper Jack Butland admitted he'd "love to know what goes through" his teammates' heads, as his side surrendered a lead against Dundee United and were forced to rescue a late draw.
The first half against United was an improvement on Rangers' recent performances, but only James Tavernier's late equaliser saved a point.
"Demoralising for everybody when you put in a first half like that, people express themselves, we put in a good performance, some exciting stuff," Butland said.
"To go from that to what happened at 2-1 down, I'd love to know exactly what goes through half the lads heads at times - how do we get ourselves in that position?"
Former left-back Stevie Smith took charge of the side on Saturday as the search for a new manager goes on, following Russell Martin's sacking a fortnight ago.
"It's the story of the season really," Butland added. "What happened between going 1-0 up and 2-1 down is nowhere near good enough.
"What this club needs is a group, a squad, a togetherness that lives and breathes what this club is about. It's not getting that, it's not been shown enough."
It was a brutally honest assessment from Butland, now in his third season as Rangers' number one.
"I have to be careful about how I say things but that's the truth and reality of it," he said. "That's what the fans are seeing. It can't be turned on on a matchday, or done occasionally in training.
"It's a mentality of winning, of desire. It doesn't have to pretty. That should have been a 1-0, worst case scenario."

Rangers caretaker boss Steven Smith: "I think I understand the reasons why [the game changed]. Dundee United changed their aggression, started winning second balls, gained territory.
"That changed the game and we didn't change with it, which is disappointing. We managed to get an equaliser, so I'll give them a wee bit of credit for that.
"But we need to recognise in those moments when it gets tough, you need to have killed the game off or match the level of aggression [from the opposition] to go again.
"People will ask me 'did I enjoy today?'. I won't because I know what the expectations are, it's to win the game and that was the message to the players. I'm just disappointed we didn't do that today.
"At this moment, you need to feel the emotion. And the emotion is we didn't win. Consistency doesn't just happen Saturday to Saturday, it happens every day.
"They need to be consistent with their habits every day. When it gets tough, you stick together.
"Its not the moment to speak about [my future]. I'm just preparing for training tomorrow. I can't comment on any speculation."
