Danny Rohl says he believes leaving Rangers for Red Bull Salzburg was the right decision, despite expecting to remain at Ibrox after reviving the club’s title hopes during a turbulent season. His move matters because it follows a promising but ultimately unsuccessful spell in Glasgow and gives Salzburg a new manager as they seek to restore their domestic dominance.

The 37-year-old took Rangers from sixth place to title contention after arriving when they had won only once in eight league matches, but four defeats in their final five games left them third. Salzburg approached him while he was on holiday in June, and he said sporting director Marcus Mann convinced him of the opportunity; Salzburg have failed to win the Austrian title for three seasons after previously claiming 10 consecutively.
