Giovanni van Bronckhorst has branded club legend Brian Laudrup ‘stupid’ for claiming he’s thrown in the towel as Rangers boss.
A defiant Van Bronckhorst came out fighting as he prepares for a win or bust double header against Hearts and St Mirren with his Ibrox job on the line. The Dutchman is under heavy fire following a string of catastrophic results and error-strewn performances which have humiliated fans in the Champions League and left his side trailing Celtic by seven points in the domestic top-flight.
And nine-in-a-row great Laudrup weighed in yesterday when the Dane criticised van Bronckhorst’s body language during Sunday’s defeat at St Johnstone by claiming he looked like a man who has already given up the ghost. And that prompted an unusually stinging response from the Rangers manager yesterday. He said: “I’m giving up? I think that’s very easy and stupid to say from Brian, if he doesn’t know the situation. He knows the pressure every manager is under and I get a lot of questions about my body language. I don’t think it’s got anything to do with body language.
