Under-fire Gio van Bronckhorst is hoping he’ll be spared the sack at Ibrox having been left to pick up the tab of stopping 10-in-a-row.
Record Sport revealed this morning that Dutch sources close to the beleaguered Rangers boss believe he still has the support of chairman Douglas Park. The Light Blues board are said to sympathetic to his plight having drastically cut back the budget they previously gave to Steven Gerrard to halt Celtic’s bid for a record run of titles.
But Gavin MacLeod, Renfrew , has warned another era of Parkhead domination could be the price to pay if Gers don’t bin Van Bronckhorst., he said: "While the excuse that Gerrard overspent - and he did - is valid, Gio can’t get a tune out of the same players who strolled to that title. He’s had a horrendous injury (crisis) but the players who made it Seville last year look to have downed tools. Too many fans have turned so it’s his time to go. The board sticking by him only suggests they’re satisfied with second place.”
