RANGERS manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst insists he’s been in worse situations that the one he currently finds himself in at Ibrox.
The Gers have won just two of their last five matches, although, two of them were in the Champions League.
The Dutchman has come under increased pressure from the stands in recent games after a string of lacklustre performances and poor results.
The likes of Barry Ferguson and Ally McCoist have labelled their former club a “tough watch”.
While van Bronckhorst admits criticism is natural when the team is not winning, the boss is adamant that the predicament at Rangers is far from a crisis.
In fact, Rangers are actually two-points better off at this stage this season than they were last year.
He said: “It’s the way. I don’t really think about it. You get it because people are talking about it.
“That’s the environment we are living in now with social media.
“It puts the message across. You can see south of the border subtitles from chants from supporters. It only adds to the pressure we already have as managers.
“I’ve been here in the past. I’ve had worse situations than we are in now, as you said we are in the Champions League having reached a European final.
“With Feyenoord we only got our last three points in the final minute of our final game.
“It’s the level in Europe we are facing and sometimes people forget to put it into perspective.
“Which competition are we playing? Sometimes that is difficult to understand. Overall, I am always positive, I have learned from experiences as a coach.
“I once lost seven games in a row, that was without the Champions League.
“We must keep going. We are in a situation where we miss many influential players, but that happens in football. It adds to the challenge and we need to deal with it.
“I am confident in the way I work, the way I train, the way I prepare my team and my tactics.”
The manager also revealed that Kemar Roofe suffered another injury setback. The striker is expected to be out for another few weeks.
