Rangers hierarchy may have made a significant media change | OneFootball

Danny Rohl’s exclusive appointment story from Chris Jack and the Rangers Review hinted at a clear message about the club’s media direction. Rangers fans noticed it first. That exclusive looked like confirmation that the Review had now become the board’s chosen platform. The new reality means the Daily Record’s long run of inside scoops may now be finished. This shift shows how Rangers manage information and who they trust. Rangers Review’s Danny Rohl exclusive speaks volumes. If it continues, the outlet could become the club’s main mouthpiece. The change would reshape how Rangers stories break and who breaks them.

The end of an era for the Record

Over this takeover the Daily Record held strong contacts within Ibrox. The paper often revealed internal changes and transfer details before anyone else. Earlier this year their sources were spot on. They got every key update first and their accuracy surprised many, with Keith Jackson unexpectedly reliable. However, this latest development feels different. Rangers Review through Chris Jack published before everyone. The accuracy and tone felt official. It looked like a sanctioned leak, a move to give credibility and control. If true, the Record’s dominance in Rangers news this year could be over.

A controlled message from the top

Rangers have long struggled with leaks and speculation. Stories appear too fast, often twisting before fans get facts. Using one outlet allows control. It lets the board deliver news how they want. The Review’s tone always aligns closely with the club’s message. That link now seems stronger. The Rohl piece felt carefully timed and tightly handled. Rangers wanted calm after weeks of uncertainty and the Review helped achieve that. This kind of approach gives the club a softer platform. It avoids the drama that often follows Record headlines. Still, it risks sounding too friendly and losing independence.

What this means going forward

The Rangers Review will enjoy a surge of credibility. Supporters now look to them first for real information. Meanwhile, the Record faces a serious challenge. Their coverage, historically derided, may become even less trusted if they lose access. That loss matters because multiple outlets keep the club honest. Yet for the hierarchy, control matters more than balance. They want authority over narrative. That strategy may calm tensions short term but risks alienating parts of the fanbase long term. Many remember how leaks once gave supporters real insight into boardroom decisions. Without that flow the club may appear secretive again. Either way this media shift marks a clear line. The Rohl story proved that Rangers have changed how they communicate. The Review now looks like their chosen partner, while the Record must find a new way back inside, as seen across RangersMedia, NewsNow, and Sky Sports.
