Van Bronckhorst put on notice as on-message fan site issues warning

The Rangers Review has published an article that has effectively called for the sacking of Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

Last month Stewart Robertson used the Newsquest site to soften supporters up about the lack of investment in the playing squad but the backlash from losing 7-1 has been overwhelming.

Ticking away in the background are two complete capitulations at Celtic Park with the credit on the Europa League final run dwindling away with each Champions League defeat.

It took Van Bronckhorst 50 minutes to go in front of BT Sport cameras on Wednesday night, rather than face the media today he has put that appointment back to tomorrow.

Motherwell on Sunday aren’t likely to offer much in the way of a challenge but with Napoli chasing top spot in their Champions League group the October 26 match in southern Italy could be fateful for the current Ibrox boss.

Published in the Rangers Review, Steven Clifford from 4 lads warns:

THE writing is on the wall for Giovanni van Bronckhorst unless he produces a miracle turnaround.

He’s gone to a gunfight armed with a knife and his team has surrendered with a whimper. Regular readers will know I have had issues with the manager and I have spoken many times about being unsure of his ability to manage our team to the desired levels.

Well, one heavy defeat is tough to take, two and questions are rightly being asked. But this management has now presided over SIX horror shows and the manner of the defeats are as alarming as ever. Two Parkhead thrashings, two feeble showings against Liverpool as well as calamities in Amsterdam and against USG in Belgium.

Each time this team has meekly thrown in the towel with no heart, desire or leadership. The manager even admitted the manner of defeats was concerning to him when I asked him post-match after the Liverpool debacle.

Tick tock.
