I don't get why you'd want to leave Gers when there's a chance to achieve something special here. I can't help but see the potential in this squad and this club

Danny may regret it if he quits Ibrox

I'LL be honest, the approach from Red Bull Salzburg for Danny Rohl has come like a bolt from the blue.

Not much surprises me anymore when it comes to football but the news that the Rangers boss could be heading for the exit after only eight months in charge is a shock.

It’s not because I don't understand the appeal the Austrian side would have for the German boss, especially with the opportunity to move closer to his family.

Danny has two young sons but he has spent most of the three years he has been working in British football living apart from them. As a father myself, I realise just how tough that would be for him.

Having started his career working for the Red Bull Group in Leipzig, the chance to work with some familiar faces in Salzburg will clearly be an attraction too.

And I understand he must be feeling under pressure with the way last season ended here.

There's no doubt a sizeable element of the supporter base have made their minds up on him as boss and turning those opinions around won't be easy.

But this is where I see things differently.

I don't get why you would want to leave a club like Rangers. I don't understand why you would walk from Ibrox when there's still a chance to achieve something special here.

Obviously I've got my blue-tinted specs on but I can't help but see the potential in this squad and this club.
