Ange Postecoglou admits Giovanni van Bronckhorst could have ended up with a Rangers statute rather than the sack.
The Dutchman was given his marching orders at Ibrox last year before former coach Michael Beale swept in to take over the hot-seat after Rangers found themselves spiralling in the league. It came after receiving the tag of the worst-ever Champions League group stage team under Van Bronckhorst's command with defeats to St Johnstone and draws to Livingston and St Mirren setting the tone for his downfall.
Postecoglou's side secured two heavy victories over his ex-rival in the Old Firm derbies but Van Bronckhorst did knock Celtic out of the Scottish Cup that Rangers eventually won the last time the two sides met at Hampden ahead of this weekend's Viaplay Cup final.
