Giovanni van Bronckhorst has officially been sacked by Rangers, with the search for a new manager underway before their return to action in just over three weeks.
After a poor string of results in recent weeks, Rangers sit nine points behind leaders Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, with the Light Blues winning just two of their last five league outings - the last game a 1-1 draw against St. Mirren. The Gers also became the worst side in Champions League history in the last few weeks, losing six from six in the group stages and ending with a goal difference of -20.
Ultimately, these results saw Van Brockhorst's one-year reign in Scotland come to an end, and a shortlist of names are already being linked with the Gers. Former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is one of the names in the frame after his departure from Aston Villa, whilst QPR's Michael Beale, ex-Burnley manager Sean Dyche and former Rangers player and current Yokohoma F.Marinos manager Kevin Muscat are other names linked with the vacant role at Ibrox.
