THE Union Bears say manager Danny Rohl helped them in preparing a giant tifo ahead of Thursday’s massive Europa League clash against Roma.
It’s Rohl’s first European home game in charge of the Gers and they’ll face a difficult test against the Italian giants at Ibrox.
Rangers are still looking for their first points in this season’s competition after three straight defeats.
After being humiliated against Club Brugge in the Champions League qualifying, defeats to Genk and Sturm Graz followed before Russell Martin was relieved of his duties.
Rohl’s first taste of European action came three days after he was appointed Martin’s successor, but he fared no better as they were thumped 3-0 by Brann in Norway.
Nevertheless, after that game Rohl didn’t try to hide away from the criticism, going over to the fans at the end of the game to thank them for their support.

He even had a conversation with a few supporters about how disappointed he was with the performance as fans sang his name.
Rohl is obviously keen to keep the supporters onside something Martin failed to do, and the ultras group the Union Bears say he has helped them in putting together a tifo for the clash against the Giallorossi.
In a post on the Union Bears Instagram, it said: “The Union Bears have created a large tifo display for tonight’s match.
“We ask that all supporters get to their seats early and participate by holding the materials provided.

“Our manager, Danny Rohl joined us in the preparation of this tifo and we thank him for his support.
“As a support, we will be right behind him and the team tonight until the end.”
It’s the first time Roma have faced Scottish opposition in more than 40 years with their last encounter against Dundee United in the European Cup semi-final in 1984.
They’ve won just one of their three Europa League games this season, losing to both Lille and Viktoria Plzen.
