LIFE on the road has not been kind to Giovanni van Bronckhorst throughout his managerial career. It is just one area that must be addressed if his stay at Ibrox is to be prolonged and successful.
A trip to Hearts is hardly the fixture that Van Bronckhorst would have hand-picked as Rangers return to action this weekend. It is one that will shape the narrative, one which could go some way to determining the momentum between now and the break for the World Cup in November.
Ironically, his side fared well at one of the toughest venues in the league last term. A fine 2-0 win in December – earned thanks to early goals from Alfredo Morelos and Joe Aribo – came as Rangers continued to have the look of likely champions about them.
