🎶 Celebrated with his own song: German coach becomes derby hero in Scotland | OneFootball

The "Old Firm" in Scotland is one of the hottest derbies that the football world has to offer. Even though Celtic and Rangers face each other several times every year, each encounter electrifies the masses.

That was also the case this Saturday. The Rangers won the away game at Celtic Park 3-1 and drew level on points with their hated city rivals.

You could see just how much the victory meant to the "Gers" supporters after the final whistle. At the center of the celebrations was a German.

Danny Röhl, on the sidelines in Glasgow since October 2025, was called over to the fans’ section by the traveling supporters and celebrated there with great enthusiasm. To the tune of "Daddy Cool," the typically passionate Scots chanted “Danny, Danny Roehl” over and over again.

The 36-year-old, once an assistant coach at FC Bayern, visibly enjoyed the attention. “Football is the biggest thing here. We were already celebrated with fireworks when we left for the stadium,” Röhl is quoted as saying by 'Bild'.

He continued: “There were truly fantastic moments before and after the match. In the evening, I went out to eat with my coaching staff. Everywhere, people were patting us on the back. There’s construction going on in the house next to my apartment. Every morning, the construction workers greet me with the song.”
