Simon Jordan says Celtic boast a stronger manager than Rangers and insists Gio van Bronckhorst has 'a lot' to prove

Simon Jordan believes Giovanni van Bronckhorst has a “lot to prove” as he insisted Celtic have a stronger manager in Ange Postecoglou. The radio pundit was speaking as after admitting his pre-match prediction that Rangers would get a “hiding” was proven to be spot on.

The former Crystal Palace chief reckons the Dutchman has come up short domestically despite excelling in Europe where he led Rangers to the Europa League Final last season and into the Champions League group stage this season.

But he blew a Scottish Premiership lead after succeeding Steven Gerrard to surrender the Scottish Premiership title and now trails the Hoops by five points after six games ahead of their Champions League trip to face Ajax and a trip to Aberdeen in the league on Saturday. Celtic were 3-0 up at half time in Van Bronckhorst’s first game at Parkhead as Gers boss and history repeated itself but on Saturday they added a late fourth goal.
