Fans have reacted with anger as Rangers unveil Marco Rose as their new manager, with many rejecting the club’s rationale behind the appointment. The announcement comes amid a backdrop of uncertainty, with a looming takeover and recent managerial talks having collapsed, leaving supporters feeling increasingly sidelined. The club presented a two-pronged case for Rose—highlighting his experience at top European clubs and his tactical discipline—but the reaction from fans suggests this wasn’t enough to win them over.
Many view the decision as uninspired and disconnected from the ethos of Rangers. Supporters expected a bold, transformative figure who could reignite belief and challenge Celtic’s domestic dominance. Instead, they see Rose’s appointment as a safe, corporate move driven more by boardroom calculations than footballing ambition. With tensions high over recent underwhelming seasons, patience is thin.
Social media has been flooded with criticism, with fans demanding more transparency in the hiring process and a clearer vision for the club’s future. The lack of engagement with the fanbase during this pivotal time has only intensified the backlash. For Rose, this marks a challenging start, inheriting not just a team but also a fractured relationship between supporters and the club’s leadership.
