Sky Sports reporter gives dog-whistle approval for van Bronckhorst
Andrew Dickson has given his unique yet predictable reaction to the announcement that Giovanni van Bronckhorst is replacing Steven Gerrard.
Rather than highlight a playing career that included Barcelona and Arsenal or over 100 international caps the Sky Sports high-flyer decided to resort to more primitive issues.
For context about his understanding of the club – and I mentioned this on the @RangersRabble pod last week – Gio is someone who signed off texts with WATP when I was arranging interviews with him in the past. He really gets it and understands what the club is all about. https://t.co/Ju8nBl7Pnd
