Danny Rohl has revealed he held discussions with Andrew Cavanagh in the aftermath of Sunday’s damaging 3-1 defeat to Celtic at Celtic Park.
Speaking on Tuesday, the German stated he still retains the backing of the Ibrox board heading into next season, according to Sky Sports, although the swift talks have inevitably intensified scrutiny around his position.

The latest Glasgow Derby defeat – which consigned the Ibrox club to a third place finish – carried significant consequences beyond the result itself.
O’Neill has knocked the Ibrox club out of every domestic competition this season
Martin O’Neill’s Celtic side have repeatedly inflicted setbacks on Rohl’s men throughout the campaign, knocking them out of both domestic cup competitions before delivering the final blow in their pursuit of a first title in five years.
For Rohl, the pressure has continued to grow after a series of high-profile defeats in big games. He has now only won six of 16 matches against top six opposition.
From a Celtic perspective, the result on Sunday was huge. It was the first time the Hoops had beaten their rivals in nine games in 90 minutes.
Despite Celtic enduring inconsistency at times this season, O’Neill has consistently delivered in the big games, particularly against theRangers.
O’Neill’s record against Danny Rohl:
Played: 4
Won: 2
Drawn: 2
Lost: 0
The Ibrox club may continue to publicly support their manager and outline plans for next season, but the recent run of results against Celtic has created uncertainty whether Rohl is cut out for Scottish football, which can only be good news for the Scottish champions.
Celtic have knocked their rivals out of every domestic competition this season. A league and cup double would make it one of the sweetest campaigns in recent memory.
