Rangers skipper James Tavernier last night backed boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst as he insisted the Ibrox dressing room is right behind their under-fire gaffer.
The pressure is mounting on the Dutchman after his side’s painful Champions League campaign endured its latest pasting in Naples. Wednesday’s 3-0 defeat to Luciano Spalletti’s classy Serie A pacesetters means Gers have now lost all five games so far and places them on a course to be crowned the worst ever team to reach the group stages if they lose to Ajax next week.
Patience amongst the support is wearing thin but skipper Tavernier is adamant faith amongst the first team has not wavered despite repeated humiliations from their Group A rivals. He said: “We are always behind the manager. Never once are we not. We have full belief in his tactics and whatever he puts out on match day it is down to us as a team, as players, to go out and put a performance in for him and the fans.
