Why Danny Rohl’s Snub of Super Eagles Hero Fernandez Could Threaten Rangers
Emmanuel Fernandez returned to Rangers riding the wave of his breakout performances for Nigeria. Instead of starting, the 24-year-old watched from the bench as Danny Rohl opted for experience over the club’s most in-form defender. Fernandez shone in March’s international fixtures. He dominated Iran and ghosted in at the back post to score against Jordan. Yet in a 4-2 win over Dundee United, Rohl preferred John Souttar and Nasser Djiga, leaving Rangers vulnerable at the back without Fernandez’s recovery pace. Travel fatigue offers little excuse for benching Nigeria’s latest defensive revelation. It appears Rohl is haunted by a past error more than current form. If he continues to sideline his Super Eagles asset, Rangers’ title challenge could face real danger.
