Giovanni van Bronckhorst Rangers pressure ramps up as club hero asks 'can they afford to sack him?'

Mark Hateley has questioned whether Rangers have the resources to make a big decision on Giovanni van Bronckhorst if one was required.

The Dutchman is beginning to come under scrutiny for his recruitment after back-to-back 4-0 losses against Celtic in the Premiership and their Champions League Group A opener at Ajax. A major league match away at Aberdeen now awaits Van Bronckhorst and his team after a bruising week, but already there's questions being asked of him.

BBC Scotland's Tom English was analysing the match on Sportsound and surmised that a negative result at Aberdeen on Saturday would lead to big questions mark over the Rangers manager, although stopped short of saying they will get rid of him, with Hateley adding during halfway through his address: "It's a big question that one at this stage in the season, especially when you're saying the board haven't got money to spend. Can they afford to sack him? That's the next question, or do they just let this play out?"
