Rafael van der Vaart didn’t spare the feelings of Giovanni van Bronckhorst as he delivered his thoughts on last night’s Champions League tie at Ibrox.
Without getting anywhere near top gear Ajax cruised to a 3-1 victory on the back of four consecutive defeats, less than a week after losing 3-0 at home to Liverpool.
For the home side it was another chapter in disaster as they replaced Dinamo Zagreb as the worst side ever to play in the Champions League. A record of 0-0-6- 2-22 will take some beating with van Bronckhorst’s name in the history books.
Van der Vaart: “Rangers is a very average team.”
• They could become the worst Champions Leaugue participant of all time after tonight.
Van der Vaart: “They really deserve that. They might look like something due to their fans at home games but we have all seen them play.” pic.twitter.com/LsezY1GSOA

Van der Vaart won 109 international caps, mostly alongside van Bronckhorst but unlike Scotland pundits in Holland say on-air what others whisper when the cameras aren’t rolling.
This man wouldn’t even get into the BBC Scotland car park never mind near a mic or a screen.
Refreshing honesty, objectivity and unbiased opinion.
We can only dream of that here in the best wee country in the world.
