Giovanni van Bronkhorst has reflected on Rangers' summer transfer recruitment and looked forward to January, admitting: 'You have to make sure you end the window stronger than you started'.
The Dutchman is celebrating one year in the Ibrox post after coming in as Steven Gerrard's replacement following his move to Aston Villa in the English Premier League. There has been many highs and lows in the first 365 days for the former Light Blues star. A Europa League journey all the way to the final that ended in heartbreaking circumstances, A Scottish Cup triumph and Champions League qualification are all high points. The recent run of performances and results, the end outcome at Europe's top table and trailing Celtic by nine points at present will all be seen as lows for the 47-year-old.
Rangers have suffered from a string of injuries to key men with the list mounting during the first period in the season. But one area that has come under fire from supporters and pundits is the recruitment this summer. Van Bronckhorst admits the homework was done after losing Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey as he opened up on his signings.
