Kris Commons savages Gio van Bronckhorst but claims Rangers 'can't afford' to sack floundering boss

Kris Commons is adamant it’s time up for Gio van Bronckhorst at Rangers and the only thing keeping him in post just now is the cost of sacking him.

The Dutchman is under severe pressure after a 2-1 defeat to St Johnstone saw his team fall seven points behind Celtic at the top of the Premiership. And a record-breakingly poor Champions League group stage campaign coupled with a dour style that isn't producing results domestically has the fans calling for his his head.

And Commons doesn’t blame them. He believes it all started to unravel after the negativity on and off the pitch following a 4-0 hammering away to Ajax on matchday one of the Champions League and was the first sign that the former Ibrox midfielder wasn’t going to be in the dugout long term. The former Hoops favourite sees no fight or life in a team that reached the Europa League Final six months ago with the current cop simply going through the motions for the manager.
