Kris Commons makes Rangers 'pack of cards' claim as he warns Gio risks return to crisis mode

Kris Commons reckons Saturday's 4-1 win over Aberdeen was huge for Gio van Bronckhorst - but insists they're only one misstep away from a return to crisis mode.

The former Celtic star believes the Rangers boss is still walking a tightrope following a string of poor results that led to intense speculation over his future at Ibrox. A convincing victory over the Dons at the weekend has turned the heat down a notch as goals from Antonio Colak, John Lundstram, James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos provided the Dutch boss with a much-needed result and performance.

But the big tests keep on coming for Van Bronckhorst as his side face Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday, looking to avoid the ignominy of posting the tournament's worst-ever group stage return. Commons reckons the weekend win must be viewed in the context of Aberdeen's poor away record and claims Rangers are still just one bad night away from collapsing "like a pack of cards".
