Rangers legends return to Ibrox

Steven Davis needs no introduction. His leadership and professionalism set standards that many since have failed to meet. Having him involved in coaching would instantly raise the bar. Players would listen because he commands respect, something we highlighted in our detailed look at Rohl’s early challenges. The Northern Irishman has done it all in football and would bring a calm influence to the new regime.

Rohl wants individuals who understand the pressure of this club. Davis fits that perfectly. He would bridge the gap between the dressing room and the coaching staff, something that has been missing since Gerrard’s exit. The move would also delight fans who have watched their team drift away from the values Davis once embodied, as a recent Ibrox Noise poll showed strong support for ex-players returning to help restore pride.

Wallace the fighter

Lee Wallace offers something different. His time at Rangers was marked by loyalty, especially during the darkest days after the fall. Supporters have never forgotten how he stood firm when others fled, much like Sky Sports’ piece on Rohl’s focus on loyalty and leadership outlined. Bringing him back would be a gesture of unity and defiance. Wallace knows exactly what this badge represents and that passion can help restore the club’s edge.

Rohl’s staff currently lack anyone with real Ibrox experience. Wallace would fix that. His voice carries weight because he lived through everything from the lower leagues to title glory, echoing ESPN’s comments on the new manager’s ambition to build an identity around resilience. Few people understand the journey better than he does. Thelwell and Stewart know that adding men like Wallace can strengthen the bond between the team and the support.

Rohl building his team

Danny Rohl is gradually assembling a mix of modern ideas and traditional values, something Rangers themselves confirmed in their official announcement. The potential arrivals of Davis and Wallace show that the board might finally be listening. They want a staff that reflects Rangers’ identity but also embraces innovation. Rohl has stressed that culture matters as much as tactics.

If these two join, it could transform the spirit within the camp. Players need to feel the shirt’s weight again. Davis brings class and authority. Wallace brings loyalty and steel. Together they could help Rohl build something lasting. Ibrox has waited too long for figures who truly understand the club. Rangers legends return to Ibrox could become the turning point this team needs. It would show once and for all that Rangers legends return to Ibrox not for nostalgia, but to restore pride where it belongs.
