Gio van Bronckhorst admitted there’s no excuses for the shock defeat that leaves both Rangers ’ title hopes and his own survival prospects at Ibrox hanging in the balance.
But the beleaguered Ibrox boss insists he’s still the man to turn around a campaign in danger of collapse following yesterday’s shock 2-1 defeat to St Johnstone As if recording the worst ever Champions League group stage performance wasn’t bad enough for the Dutchman, he’s now facing fresh flak after watching his team fall seven points adrift of rivals Celtic in the Premiership flag race.
There were chants of “Gio get to f**k” after Nicky Clark put Callum Davidson’s Saints two up at McDiarmid while a group of around 50 furious Gers fans gathered outside the stadium’s front door to demand answers after the full-time whistle. Still a week shy of his first anniversary in the job, van Bronckhorst knows he’s under major pressure.
