Rangers sack Giovanni van Bronckhorst after slipping behind Celtic in title race

Rangers have sacked manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

The Dutchman, 47, lasted 368 days in the job and took Rangers to within a penalty shootout of winning a major European trophy, yet that was not enough to stay in charge of the Glasgow club. Rangers have slipped nine points behind bitter rivals Celtic in the Scottish Premiership title race and the board have decided it's time for a change.

Rangers confirmed on Monday morning: "Rangers Football Club confirms today it has parted company with manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst. The board would like to put on record sincere thanks to Gio for all his efforts since his appointment as manager."
