Former Real Madrid and Netherlands star Rafael van der Vaart reckons £19 million Ajax defender Calvin Bassey was never going to succeed at the Amsterdam club...because he had only played for Rangers.
The Nigerian international was the highest casualty of interim manager John Heitinga's first selection at the weekend following the dismissal of Alfred Schreuder last week, who had swooped for the ex-Ibrox star.
Bassey was only on the bench as Ajax romped to a 4-1 win against Excelsior, which was incredibly their first victory in the Eredivisie since October.
