Rangers captain James Tavernier makes Giovanni van Bronckhorst declaration as pressure mounts on Ibrox manager

JAMES Tavernier has stated the Rangers players remain firmly behind their manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst in the wake of a Champions League defeat to Napoli which has increased the pressure on the Dutchman.

Tavernier and his team mates were beaten 3-0 by the Serie A leaders in the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples on Wednesday night and remain rooted to the bottom of Group A without any points.

The Ibrox club have to draw with or beat Ajax in Govan in their final match on Tuesday night to avoid a whitewash – and if they lose by two goals or more they will finish their campaign with the worst group stage record in the 30 year history of Europe’s premier club competition.
