Despite going down to a 3-0 defeat to Napoli it seems that Giovanni van Bronckhorst salvaged his reputation at Ibrox last night.
Leading his side to a 0-11 aggregate over three matches is normally dismissal material but Keith Jackson is leading the defence of the Dutchman who is five points behind domestically and six behind in the Champions League.
The Dortmund card is looking very weathered and battered but is alive an well in the eyes of the veteran Daily Record reporter:
There’s a world of difference between a savage beating and an unspeakably cruel one. Unfortunately for Rangers, they’ve now experienced it all inside a fortnight.
After the spineless capitulations that brought their manager to a point of crisis, last night they produced a performance of heroic proportions – only to end up bloodied and bruised all over again. Where they had been pitiful against Celtic and Ajax, here they were at their most powerful.
Where they had lacked stomach for the fight, this time they were ravenous. And even when reduced to 10 men against the giants of Napoli, they mustered up something bordering on the astonishing as returning keeper Allan McGregor stopped two penalties before finally being beaten by a third in quick succession. Two late goals rubbed salt into the wounds, adding to the stinging sense of injustice. Of course, it won’t matter much in terms of this group campaign. With no points from a possible six, Rangers are already in need of snookers.
But in the greater scheme of things this was a night of redemption, nonetheless, for a team and their manager.
Napoli were the third seeds in the Champions League draw, behind Ajax and Liverpool.
I posted on this earlier after I had pissed myself laughing,just the other day he was leaving the team the management and the board without a name,now he is full of praise with no goals I’m 3 games from the klan klub and 11 goals scored against them.
A nice wee blast of the kool aid.
Heroic ravenous ? That this imposter is still employed as a so called journalist more than ten years after making a complete fool of himself just sums up the sorry decline of the sports media. Scotlands sevco media shame.
Imagine what this guy and his cronies would be saying if we shipped 11 goals without reply in 3 games including a 4-0 mauling to our city rivals ?
As I said before that broken crest would be shoved out there with the word CRISIS to go with it had that been Celtic,but at sevco it’s always things ticking over nicely regarding the results,just look at how the last klub out of ibrox folded and went out of business on the media’s own watch.
Any other club in Scotland and a 4-0 , 4-0 , 3-0 in your last 3 games is crisis material it’s as simple as that
The banter years are still with us,apparently McGregor is the best goalkeeper in Scotland so say the klan on FF.
Lol it’s so funny they are all looking for excuses to blame people from last nights result,but at the same time trying to spin a positive out the game when they git gubbed 3 nil at home.
You see when the board read shite like that they love it,it gives them an easy ride.
Here at there most powerful , What the feck is he talking aboot .if this is them at there most powerful ,sit back lads this cld b the most hilarious season of them all ,
I do wonder of an evening, why their star new ‘champions league’ striker was dropped for an overweight, huffy (desperate to get out the door – ASAFP) striker ????
After all he was #tinnyweegioz major transfer target in the summer !!!!!
HH

The ultimate hun puppet KY sorry KJ midlife crisis reports a honest reflection truthful display dereliction of duty the ra huns should of won by his impartial Journalismand years of experienced Journalism (nae laughing)
Lazy lying untrustworthy bottom feeder cant’s rat’s tiny minded yokels.
Napoli might be third seeds but they are much better than Liverpool currently.
So they tried. Isn’t that what they get paid for ?
They could play for snookers. But that wouldn’t necessarily help them! It might stem the flood of goals? But they need to score some as well!
Brendan Rodgers got European doings but still kept it going in league and players still believed in manager do van Brockhurst team believed in him you have to get your own men in that takes 2 seasons and money and backing of board and in rangers case supporters cause I think they have a big say on board who don’t want to upset them when Celtic_fc_1888 fans well some the green brigade who do a lot off good work but embarrass Celtic_fc_1888 sometimes nit with queens banner after all roman catholic allowed to pay tax to gov but are banned from pm or royals to the throne ,so rightly they attack head of that establishment wich or press won’t say its two way meaning
Back to supporters rangers board (sevco) don’t want a protest by supporters are realising that there beloved rangers and all the standing in football and business is dead or liquidated its not only new club inbusiness sense and that’s big no vank of Scotland backing so no other money business will lend money they are in debt and owe money champion league money will keep the lights on for a season where celtic have a great business set up with top people board members and instead if looking for companies to invest companies are hammering at the door epl won’t let us in cause we will be as big as real Madrid on a business sense bigger than man City Chelsea who have billionaire owners who if they pull out have nothing I know who I would invest in rangers(sevco)in business circles no credit Celtic_fc_1888 don’t need credit but in a business sense respected on a sound footing no matter what our press say or can’t say through loyalty to a old establish Scotland shame are disappearing sevco are never far from financial courts not rangers international club but their official name sevco so why not say it like courts can’t sue rangers it’s sevco in business and law corridors it’s sevco
K.Jackson is another one who would rather praise the biggest cheats in Scottish football rfc than slag them off the media in masonic scotland are nothing but huns so please stop buying these papers scum record scum sun kill they papers off for good..
