Giovanni van Bronckhorst finally had his tenure as boss ended by Rangers chiefs. Now the hunt is on for a new Ibrox manager and everyone has an opinion on the potential fall-out from the Dutchman's ditching.
Van Bronckhorst had a reign of just over 12 months concluded by the Light Blues hierarchy to the relief of many fans and sympathy of others. Jamie Wilson, Edinburgh, said: “Ultimately, it was the correct decision, but Gio was unlucky with recent injuries and definitely didn’t get the backing he deserved. Hope that doesn’t put potential new managers off.”
Robert McCann, Bishopbriggs, said: “Better late than never. Gio had lost his way and there was no way that could carry on.” Kenneth Lanigan, Manchester, continued: “Van Bronckhorst had to go. I’m just surprised it took over a week after that shambles in Paisley.” Eric Ramage, Edinburgh, said: “He did a decent job. You can’t complain about a European Final and he was one penalty kick away from going into folklore and being a legend. But you can’t live in the past and Rangers have had a nightmare this season. The board has to get the next appointment right.”
