Rangers Step Up Chase for 6ft 4in Midfield Powerhouse Admired by Danny Röhl
Rangers are reportedly ramping up their pursuit of a towering midfield prospect whom manager Danny Röhl views as a potential cornerstone of his long-term project at Ibrox.
Since arriving in Glasgow, Röhl’s impact has been impossible to miss. The German coach remains unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership and has quietly guided Rangers into third place, cutting the gap to league leaders Hearts to nine points while still holding a game in hand. While talk of a title push may feel premature, the contrasting fortunes of Old Firm rivals Celtic — who have faltered under Wilfried Nancy — have reopened a door many believed was firmly shut.
Despite the encouraging progress, Röhl has made it clear he expects more. Following Monday’s win over Hibernian, he challenged his side to become sharper in front of goal, even as he praised their growing defensive solidity.
“We have five clean sheets now and I’d like us to be more clinical,” Röhl said. “I’m happy with the points, but we still have to improve. It’s step by step, and for me it’s about winning games. Not every moment was amazing, but when you keep clean sheets and take your chances, you deserve to win.”
January could offer the Rangers boss the tools to edge closer to the level he demands. According to reports, the club are now intensifying their interest in Tromsø midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl, with Röhl believed to be a driving force behind the move.
Standing at an imposing 6ft 4in, the 20-year-old would add a commanding physical presence to Rangers’ midfield, something Röhl is keen to build his side around. Scouts have already been dispatched to monitor the Norwegian star, and his blend of athleticism and end product has not gone unnoticed. Hjerto-Dahl has contributed four goals and seven assists from midfield, underlining his all-round influence.
However, Rangers may need to move quickly. Competition is growing, with clubs such as Sunderland also tracking the youngster’s progress. The urgency could increase further if Nicolas Raskin were to depart during the January window, leaving a significant void in the centre of the park.
For Röhl, Hjerto-Dahl represents more than just a new signing — he is seen as a foundational piece who could help shape Rangers’ next phase and turn promise into sustained success.
