Gio van Bronckhorst handed Rangers advice as he's told the two players to put back in starting XI

Barry Ferguson reckons former teammate Giovanni van Bronckhorst has to restore experience to his Rangers starting XI.

The Light Blues boss has a puzzle to sort next Tuesday after Union-Saint Gilloise downed them 2-0 in their Champions League third round qualifiers first leg in Leuven. Veteran goalkeeper Allan McGregor was on the bench while Jon McLaughlin started between the sticks and 37-year-old midfielder Steven Davis was also unused sub.

Ferguson reckons both can still make an impact for Rangers in the twilight of their careers with a defining European battle coming to Govan in five days time. He told Go Radio: “Steven Davis? Yeah. I still think he’s got it in him. I don’t care what age he is, he’s got it in him and he’s an ultimate professional. For me, he could easily still play in the Rangers XI. I am not going to sit here and slate Jon McLaughlin.
