Peter Grant has come to the defence of Rangers manager Gio van Bronckhorst amid loud calls to sack the Dutchman with the Light Blues enduring a disastrous last few weeks.
Rangers have crashed out of Europe without a picking up a single point and lie nine points behind arch-rivals Celtic in the Scottish Premiership title race. The Ibrox club don't have a game for over a month due to the World Cup break and that is seen by some as an opportunity for a change to occur. But Grant points to the loss of key players to a lengthy injury list as well as the behaviour of striker Alfredo Morelos as reasons why fans should afford Van Bronckhorst more time.
He told the Go Radio Football Show: "I think he still should be manager, and I know people will be saying 'yeah you are saying that as a Celtic man'. No, because I think he deserves the opportunity and the reason I'm saying that is they've got an injury list of ten players. You could probably say eight of them would be in the team, that's as far as I would go and one of their main players at the start of the season (Tom) Lawrence was not involved, they've had (Ianis) Hagi out for most of the time he's been there, so all these players.
