Giovanni van Bronckhhorst faces a difficult task turning the tide at Rangers - but he more than merits the time to do so.
The Dutch boss hasn't lost to any other domestic side outside Celtic since arriving as manager at Ibrox last November but waning performances and a calamitous Champions League Group A campaign have resulted in calls for his sacking. Football is a harsh business but 16 goals conceded against Ajax, Napoli and Liverpool with one goal in response has them eliminated from Europe's top table with two games to go.
One of those is against Napoli tonight, the rampant Serie A side who have already put four past Liverpool on home soil. Off the back of a 1-1 draw with Livingston that leaves them four points behind Celtic in the Premiership title race, former Rangers right-back Alan Hutton says a trip to Naples is perhaps something his ex-employers could do without.
