Rangers continue to be linked with Giovanni van Bronckhorst – and it looks like he is willing to make a real exception to make the move to Ibrox.
The Daily Record claim that Van Bronckhorst remains the favourite to replace Steven Gerrard as Rangers boss.
The current problem is that Van Bronckhorst wants to have a proper coaching staff with him, and that’s proving difficult.
Preferred assistant Jean-Paul van Gastel is in charge of Chinese side Guangzhou City and may not be able to join Rangers.
That’s a problem for Van Bronckhorst, who is already overlooking one major concern in order to push for the Rangers job.
A source close to Van Bronckhorst claims that he would rather not take on a new job in the middle of the season.
However, Van Bronckhorst’s personal connection to Rangers is so strong that he is willing to make an exception for the Gers.
Van Bronckhorst played for Rangers between 1998 and 2001 and now fancies a return to Ibrox.
This is the pull of Rangers, especially to those who have been there before.
Just look at the current squad. Allan McGregor and Steven Davis left Rangers and came back – they just couldn’t stay away!
Van Bronckhorst ditching his usual preferences in order to push for this Rangers job is a massive compliment, and a sign that Rangers really need to get this deal over the line.
