Giovanni van Bronckhorst has urged his shellshocked Rangers to use the pain of Parkhead to fuel their mission in Amsterdam.
The Ibrox outfit will begin their Champions League group-stage campaign under a cloud after an Old Firm nightmare. Van Bronckhorst’s team were hammered 4-0 by Celtic after a dreadful display to fall five points off the Scottish Premiership title pace. The Dutchman now takes his side to his homeland for their section opener against Ajax and the boss wants the feelings of anger and dismay at the Parkhead capitulation to fire them up for the Amsterdam encounter.
Van Bronckhorst said: “Of course, we have a big game on Wednesday now, but you should feel the way you are feeling now. It’s a big loss for us, so you should feel the disappointment. We have to take this result on the chin, learn from it and move on. Then we look forward to Wednesday.”
