Lee Johnson believes Giovanni van Bronckhorst was Rangers’ fall-guy because the Ibrox side are ‘just not as good’ as their rivals, Celtic.
Johnson has lamented the kind of managerial merry-go-round that led to the sacking of van Bronckhorst just a matter of a few months after the Dutchman had steered the Light Blues to the final of the Europa League and to the Scottish Cup trophy. The Hibernian manager is convinced his counterpart deserved longer in the job.
“I’m always an advocate of keeping managers in situ because I think managers are often blamed for the results and normally there’s a bigger picture there,” he said. “I understand the pressure falls on the manager because it’s your name on the door. But if I believed I had the right man in place, I would give him an adequate amount of windows to change it round.
