The German boss, now at Red Bull Salzburg, shared how fans even interrupted a wedding to sing his name. Rangers finished the 2025 Premiership season in 2nd place with 69 points, just 1 point behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian. Their final form was WLLLL after a 2-5 win over Falkirk on 16 May 2026. ## What made Rohl's relationship with fans special? Rohl described how he approached travelling fans in Bergen after his first defeat as manager, taking responsibility despite only being in charge for 48 hours. This gesture earned him immediate respect. The bond grew stronger as Rangers fought back into the title race. Rohl recalled: "The connection I had with Rangers fans was something special. They showed me incredible support from the very beginning." ## The wedding party that stopped for Rohl One of the most memorable moments came when Rohl was at a wedding with his family. The 200 guests stopped their celebrations to sing his name in unison. His children were amazed by the scene. "My kids asked me: 'What's going on here?'" Rohl said. "It was something I'll always remember. Not many managers get a song after just six weeks." ## Why Rohl feels sorry for Rangers fans Despite the strong relationship, Rohl admitted disappointment at not delivering the title. "They had such commitment to me," he said. "I left a little bit unprepared to say goodbye." Rangers will face Heart Of Midlothian away on 28 October 2026 in their next fixture. The Gers are looking to improve on their recent form of 2 wins and 3 losses in their last 5 games.
