Keith Jackson has compared Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s hold on the manager’s job at Ibrox with Liz Truss’ tenancy on Downing Street.
The Reach colleagues of Jackson at the Daily Star are keeping a watch on the current PM and comparing it with the lifespan of a lettuce left to rot on a shelf!
Liverpool’s 7-1 victory on Wednesday opened the eyes of even the most gullible of Ibrox fans with that scoreline added to two 4-0 defeats and a 3-0 loss since the start of April.
Connor Goldson’s thigh injury leaves van Bronckhorst to see out the year with Ben Davies and Leon King in central defence with a visit to Napoli coming next week.
Even van Bronckhorst should see off Dundee and Livingston this week but there is already an ominous look about the October 26 match in southern Italy. In contrast to the Ibrox flops Napoli have full points and a 17-4 goal difference.
Writing in the Daily Record, Jackson explains:
It’s difficult to know which of them is facing the bigger crisis.
The absolute car crash of a woman behind the door of No.10 Downing Street or the men in charge of taking care of the Big Hoose on Edmiston Drive. Because right now Rangers have a colossal job on their hands as they attempt to navigate a safe path out of increasingly choppy waters.
Yes, the three points Giovanni van Bronckhorst ’s side secured at Fir Park will have at least alleviated some of the pressure which has been building around the manager in the wake of that 7-1 Champions League beasting from Liverpool on Wednesday night.
It may have been a rather unconvincing 2-1 victory but if ever there was an any-port-in-a-storm moment for the Dutchman then it was surely at lunchtime in Lanarkshire yesterday. Anything less than a victory would have left Van Bronckhorst facing an intolerable backlash from a support which is running dangerously low on levels of tolerance.
Jackson goes on to question the summer transfer business and wonders over the contribution of soon to walkaway duo Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent.
Oh dear it’s a bad day when an ALKIE with a face like a melted wellie is having a go at you,but hey it will get the backs up of the BENNY fans and get them ONION bears out with their pitchforks shouting burn the witch.
For that article the BOOZE JOCKEY has tried to write you could say the sevco klub have put their Truss in Gio the Fanny.
