Rangers have sacked Giovanni van Bronckhorst – little more than a year after the Dutchman took charge.
Van Bronckhorst looked set to continue after the Ibrox board failed to act in the immediate aftermath of the 1-1 draw against St Mirren in the final fixture before the domestic break. However, the club have ended van Bronckhorst's time at the helm and are on the hunt for their 18th permanent manager.
Pressure had been building on the former Feyenoord boss, who enjoyed a successful playing spell at Rangers under Dick Advocaat, due to the worst ever Champions League group stage record in history and Celtic building up a nine-point lead at the Premiership summit. He did take Rangers to the Europa League final last season which helped make up for the fact he squandered the lead handed to him by Steven Gerrard when he took over, reports The Daily Record.
