Rangers must send for Graeme Souness type greats to replace Gio van Bronckhorst and chop Ibrox deadwood – Hotline

After a garbage week in continental competition, Scottish teams have been taken out with the Euro trash. Celtic, Rangers and Hearts all suffered sore ones in the Champions League and Europa Conference and the punters are not happy.

Ibrox fans reckon boss Gio van Bronckhorst is under pressure and it’s time for a SOS – send out Souness. Robert Livingstone, Palm Beach, said: “Van Bronckhorst was a good player but as manager he makes too many wrong selections. Rangers need a tough, gruff, no-nonsense man like Graeme Souness to chop out the dead wood.”

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou didn’t escape either and Alan Flett emailed: "What now for the Old Firm after more Champions League embarrassment? At least Rangers have proved themselves in the Europa League, they can tool up and go again. But Celtic will have to spend serious money on top players if they are to have a chance of competing in any of the European competitions. Either that, or they replace the naive Postecoglou with a manager of substance.”
