Alex McLeish guided Rangers to a Treble in 2003 then watched his trophy-laden squad crumble in a summer of out-of-contract chaos.
This time next year – the 20th anniversary of that domestic clean sweep – he’d hate to think current Ibrox boss Gio van Bronckhorst will have to face the same massive rebuild.
Which is why McLeish believes the Dutchman will have some serious soul-searching ahead of him with Ryan Kent, Joe Aribo and Alfredo Morelos free agents next summer.
