Rangers sack coach Van Bronckhorst over poor results
After losing ground in the Scottish Premiership title race, Rangers have fired manager, Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
Steven Gerrard’s transfer to Aston Villa, led to the appointment Van Bronckhorst and he helped the Glasgow-based side win the Scottish Cup and reach the final of the UEFA Europa League, where they eventually lost to German side, Eintracht Frankfurt.
Van Bronckhorst was unable to instil stability in the Scottish Premiership, however, as Rangers finished the previous campaign four points behind Celtic and were nine points behind their Old Firm opponents going into the World Cup break.
Rangers also had a dismal UEFA Champions League run this year, becoming the first Scottish team to lose every game they played at the group stage. The team conceded 22 goals, including a 7-1 result at the hands of Liverpool and 4-0 against Ajax.
A statement from Rangers on Monday, read in part: “Unfortunately, recent results have not met neither our nor Gio’s expectations, and we have taken this difficult decision today. Everyone at Rangers wishes Gio every success in the future.”
