Arthur Numan has warned Rangers that if they show the mentality displayed versus St Johnstone last weekend, they will suffer more Saints misery.
It's been a bruising week for the Light Blues, with a 1-0 Premiership win over Hearts on Wednesday only serving to ease pressure slightly on manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst after a 2-1 loss in Perth last weekend. They travel to St Mirren on Saturday for what will be a tough encounter, with Stephen Robinson's side already beating Celtic this season in Paisley.
Former left-back Numan says the Rangers hierarchy are right to stand by the boss but knows anything like last Sunday's horrow show will spell more dismay. He wrote in his FiveStars column: “When things aren't going to plan, it's important for everyone to stay calm and show cool heads and intelligent minds. The Rangers board showed this in the wake of the disappointing 2-1 defeat at St Johnstone last Sunday. A lot of supporters wanted Giovanni sacked there and then. I didn't agree with that viewpoint.
