Rohl spoke to the media for approximately half an hour during his introductory media appearance
- Published2 hours ago
Exactly 135 days following the previous coach's first press conference as the club's manager, successor the German coach faced the media at Rangers' stadium for the first time.
The scale of the challenge facing him is well known, considering Martin's turbulent and disappointing 123-day tenure.
The ex- Sheffield Wednesday boss was joined by chairman Andrew Cavenagh, along with the much-criticized pair of football director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Stewart.
But what precisely was revealed from the young coach's first public appearance as Rangers boss?
The Manager's Primary Focus - Winning is Everything
One thing emerged clearly from the new coach's first appearance in front of the Scottish media - he recognizes the need to secure victories, and do so quickly.
His predecessor Martin managed just 17 matches and 123 days as manager, so the question emerged about what timeframe the new man believes is reasonable to transform the underperforming squad.
While skillfully avoiding a direct answer that could bring later expectations, the coach's message was quite clear.
"With hope very quickly," he said. "This is crucial.
"In football you have limited opportunity. One can talk about future plans but we know it's about the short-term and that period involves securing victories. That is my requirement.
"Another aspect remains clear - I need every squad member to comprehend how we want to play. I return to my primary theme: victory comes first, entertaining football and unity. If you follow this order, I believe that I will remain very long here."
Pressure is Standard
The previous manager needed security protection to leave the stadium after his final match as manager.
We've seen how hostile situations can turn at sports teams when performances are poor. Protests have almost become an expected part of game day atmosphere on each part of Glasgow currently.
As the club's most youthful manager in history, the inquiry was posed about what qualities Rohl believes he possesses that would enable him to cope, let alone thrive, in among the most pressurized positions in British football?
"I think expectations in this business is normal," he stated. "One needs to understand that very quickly.
"I think some people might mention my youth but I have been 16 years in this career. I experienced a great chance to work with the German club and be just the assistant coach, but I experienced the reality to manage a team and the pressure you face.
"When you start getting results and then some critics will say you must play attractive football. That becomes the stage but that's exactly what I want. I relish those expectations and I look forward about the future."
Thelwell Defends Striker Acquisition & Hiring His Son
There were numerous inquiries from the media for Thelwell.
Much discussion has concerned the hiring of his son as head of recruitment, with fans skeptical about his credentials for the role.
However, he defended and clarified the choice to recruit Thelwell Jnr to Ibrox.
"It remains awkward to listen and optically I think everyone understood when we made this step to appoint him that he'd be viewed negatively," Thelwell stated.
"The reality of the situation is that we want to bring the top players to this club.
"My view on his professional path and situation is he required no my assistance in football.
"He served at Aston Villa as a senior scout, after which he moved to Norwich as scouting chief and then was elevated to development role.
"Prior to our recruited him, two top division clubs sought to sign him. Our approach right at the start of the process was discuss with the CEO, the chairman and vice-chairman Marathe about this situation.
"I was highly transparent and I think Robbie probably underwent a more rigorous procedure than any other employee by the team.
"I'm certain is that he'll labor 25/8 to achieve success for this football club and I'm looking forward to him demonstrating that he'll become a valuable staff member for the club."
Thelwell also supported the signing of striker Youssef Chermiti, who arrived at Rangers for a reported first payment of £8m, after failing to find the net in 24 games for his previous club.
The sporting director who transferred the Portuguese young international to Liverpool from Sporting Lisbon - once more for large funds in a fifteen million pound deal.
He was asked if he stands by his expensive purchase, who is yet to score in seven matches for the club.
"Yes, very much so," Thelwell responded. "I believe Youssef Chermiti is a player who's possesses huge potential.
"I've never questioned him in any way. Again, I think Danny will assist in maximize the potential out of Youssef.
"These are early days for the young player, he's a promising prospect and of course with young talents they sometimes require patience.
"However, I'm convinced throughout of his career here he'll demonstrate that he is highly capable player."
The CEO Understands Supporters' Frustration and Anger
The chief executive was facing scrutiny, given the criticism that has been directed at him by certain of the club's fans.
Additionally, there was a banner in the stadium during the last tie with Dundee United inviting him - and Thelwell - to pack his bags before being removed for them.
Similar to the sporting director, Stewart didn't avoid the issue.
"I totally understand the frustration and anger that the supporters are feeling because performances recently haven't been expectations and nobody's satisfied with those," he stated.
"The hurt and disappointment they feel is mirrored inside the boardroom.
"Also understand that there must exist a channel for that dissatisfaction and as chief executive, I'm responsible.
"I'm a lightning rod for those and my responsibility as a
