Jim White has been tasked with the job of denying that there is a crisis at Ibrox.
The TalkSPORT presenter is a loyal and true messenger, guaranteed to provide reach and not to ask questions about whether he is being used.
White is a regular MC for a variety of events at Ibrox with his fawning coverage of matters Ibrox first surfacing in the mid-eighties alongside Mister Souness.
Almost 40 years down the line that duet share the TalkSPORT airwaves on a Monday morning with a very sombre tone setting in over the last few months.
Falling seven points behind Celtic at the start of November is a sackable offence to many bears with social media swamped with cries for ‘sumbdy to dae sumthin’ but with money tight Giovanni van Bronckhorst looks set to stick it out.
The Scottish Express reports:
Talksport host Jim White said: “We understand that there are no crisis talks planned between the Rangers board and Gio van Bronckhorst.
“A Rangers source has told us that they speak every day and nothing will change in that regard.”
Former Ibrox boss Graeme Souness told the show: “Undoubtedly he’s a man under pressure. Miserable European campaign, losing to Celtic… it’s going to be difficult for him to recover. He’s got to beat Celtic twice. Celtic have to slip up.
“Managing Glasgow Rangers isn’t an easy job, as I’m sure managing Celtic isn’t. There’s games you’re expected to win simply because, certainly in my day, I could have one player that I bought for more money than the whole eleven players we were playing against. That in itself brought its own pressure.
Van Bronckhorst and his coaching staff have contracts running until May 2025.

Who will replace van Bronckhorst at Ibrox?
Wee Davie has the class and dignity for it
Robbie is the man, good European experience
Mister Gerrard- the Prodigal Returns
Lol all in denial that means as the song goes,There Maybe Trouble Ahead.
Jeezo…Keevins was jizzin in his Y fronts at the thought of Celtic dropping 2 points to Utd on Saturday and was waxing lyrical about how it was a catastrophe….and there trying to convince us there’s no crisis at the Newco :))
That poll for the next The Rangers manager needs a 4th option; ‘Who the f@(k cares!’
It was spending that money that sent the old club to the grave. Souness and his like really have no shame.
What’s the difference between ‘we understand ,’ and ‘we can deny with absolute certainty .’ That’s right ….. Steaming brown mud ………
7 is a magic number.
” … Have To Slip Up”! I bet a day never goes by without Souness thinking about Celtic!
