Brian Laudrup senses that Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst's outspoken European message was unwise.
The Dutchman is looking for his side to respond to a bruising 10 days of criticism following 4-0 defeats to Ajax and Celtic. They take on Italian side Napoli on Wednesday night and former winger Laudrup believes Van Bronckhorst's admission they need big bucks to compete at the elite European level was wrong in the open after their Europa League final run last season.
He also, speaking in his Daily Mail column, believes unity isn't in fully supply at Ibrox and that needs addressed quickly: "After the Ajax game, Van Bronckhorst spoke about needing hundreds of millions to compete in the Champions League. His comments have caused a lot of debate. I don't think they were the wisest things to say in public. Last season, Van Bronckhorst's team took on Dortmund and Leipzig two Champions League drop-outs and got the better of them.
