Brian Laudrup pushes Rangers panic button as Gio van Bronckhorst hit with 'self confidence' charge

Concerned Brian Laudrup reckons Rangers are not even at the Champions League "starting point" when it comes to the mentality needed to get results in the group stage.

It's been a nightmare Group A campaign for Gio van Bronckhorst's men as they sit rock bottom of the section without securing a point or a goal so far, with a toothless 2-0 defeat to Liverpool the latest disappointing return for the Ibrox fans. Heavy defeats to Ajax and Napoli has seen any hopes of continuing their European adventure after the winter break quickly fade, in contrast to last season's surge to the Europa League Final.

Laudrup was quick to dish out blame for the lacklustre season in Europe as he insists his former Ibrox teammate Van Bronckhorst must take responsibility over the lack of belief show by Rangers when competing against Europes elite. He admits that The Light Blues find themselves in one of the toughest Champions League groups, but reckons the boss must be the one to remind them they still have hope of reaching the Europa League or knockouts.
