Danny Röhl speaks on James Tavernier exit and Premiership title fight | OneFootball

Rangers manager, Danny Röhl, has spoken with the media for the first time since club captain James Tavernier announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season.

The German opened with “it’s big news for everyone. I think he has been great since I have been here. He has been a great captain for the club, and our relationship has been great also. He is a legend of the club; he has done a lot of great things throughout his time. Our focus is to get through the remainder of the season and for him to have the send-off he deserves. We will find a great way to celebrate James, but the ultimate celebration will be winning the league.” Tavernier has made over 500 appearances for Rangers sice signing from Wigan Athletic in 2015.

Röhl went on to speak about the title race and more specifically on his side’s clash with Motherwell tomorrow. “I don’t think anyone needs any more motivation heading into these last games. We have one way, one dream, and that’s all we think about, just focusing on ourselves, playing our best football and taking it game by game.

Motherwell play with calmness, and they can dominate games, but we are prepared; the last games have been close. I am excited to be back at Ibrox in front of our fans again.”

Rangers have five games remaining this season, and currently sit one point behind league leaders Hearts.
