Rangers Team News: Rohl's Bold Changes for Scottish Cup Clash vs Annan Athletic (2026)

Exciting News from the Rangers Camp: Rohl Unveils Squad for Scottish Cup Showdown Against Annan Athletic

Danny Röhl, the head coach, has made significant changes to his Rangers team, implementing nine alterations for tonight’s Scottish Cup Fourth Round match against Annan Athletic at Ibrox. This matchup marks Röhl's inaugural experience in the Scottish Cup, as his squad faces off against the League Two side. Notably, January signing Tochi Chukwuani is set to make his debut on the substitutes' bench.

In a strategic shift, Liam Kelly takes over the captaincy and steps into the goalkeeper role, replacing Jack Butland. He will be shielded by a defense featuring Max Aarons, Nasser Djiga, Clinton Nsiala, and Jayden Meghoma.

The midfield sees the return of Joe Rothwell, who is stepping back into the starting lineup for the first time since October. Alongside him, Kieran Dowell and Danilo will also start, bolstering the team's midfield strength.

Leading the attack is Bojan Miovski, flanked by Findlay Curtis and Djeidi Gassama on either side, creating a dynamic offensive front.

Röhl has a wealth of talent at his disposal on the substitutes' bench, including Kieran Wright, John Souttar, Chukwuani, Mohamed Diomande, Thelo Aasgaard, Mikey Moore, Rabbi Matondo, Youseff Chermiti, and the promising 17-year-old Zebedee Lawson.

Kick-off is scheduled for 7:45 pm in Govan, and fans outside the UK can catch all the live action on RangersTV (https://rangerspayments.streamamg.com/account/register/step1).
