Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s former coach Ceri Bowley insists the Dutchman didn’t deserve the ending he got at Rangers. The Welshman joined the Ibrox backroom team at the start of this season only for it prove short-lived as the axe fell on the former Feyenoord boss.
Bowley insisted “nobody hurt more” than Van Bronckhorst who he described as a real “Rangers man” which he said even shone through when he first met the 47-year-old former Holland captain when the worked together at Manchester City.
Van Bronckhorst had a real contrast during his time in the hot-seat after replacing Steven Gerrard mid-season as he steered the club to the Europa League final and won the Scottish Cup but surrendered the Scottish Premiership before ending the club’s wait to qualify for the Champions League group stage only to suffer humiliation when they got there as they had the worst ever record in the tournament.
