Giovanni van Bronckhorst insists Rangers were never interested in a weekend off to prepare for PSV Eindhoven. The Dutch side were given a domestic break by Eredivisie bosses in between the two legs up the upcoming Champions League playoff showdown, with the of two monumental clashes looming on Tuesday night.
PSV were then due to face Volendam a week on Saturday but that fixture has been pushed back to the end of August. Ibrox legend Ally McCoist launched a scathing attack on Scottish football chiefs for not offering Rangers the same privilege with their trip to Hibs, branding the situation "a shambles".
But Van Bronckhorst reckons there was no need for his team to have extra time off and says the possibility hadn't even crossed his mind despite the news from abroad. He told BBC Sportsound: "Of course, I read the reports in Holland. I never thought about that because of course we are in a demanding schedule but I think we have enough time to prepare for all the games we play in.
