When Rangers pulled the trigger on 5 sacked bosses as Gio van Bronckhorst's future hangs in balance

The Rangers fans have chanted for his exit and once that happens, there's usually little chance of going back.

A 2-1 defeat to St Johnstone on Saturday has left Giovanni van Bronckhorst in a perilous position as Ibrox manager, now seven points behind Premiership leaders Celtic. He won the Scottish Cup and got to a Europa League final after taking over in November 2021 but this season has brought a calamitous Champions League campaign where they finished statistically as the 'worst ever' side to have competed at the group stage phase.

Domestic performances have been in decline too and now results have caught up with that in the form of a home draw to Livingston and defeat in Perth. Rangers haven't wielded the axe very often on their managers but there's debate rumbling on if and when that could happen here. Record Sport takes a look at how the last managerial departures at Ibrox played out, not including figures like Steven Gerrard, who weren't forced to leave.
