Steven Gerrard’s Rangers have already beaten their former boss’s new club at Ibrox.

Rangers fans look on during the Ladbrokes Premiership match between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox Stadium on September 1, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers fans are reacting to the news that a former Ibrox boss has joined one of their upcoming opponents.

Dutchman Dick Adovcaat, who led Rangers to a domestic double and treble during his three-year stay at Ibrox between 1998 and 2001, replaces Jaap Stam at Feyenoord.

Rangers have already beaten the Eredivisie giants in this year’s Europa League, but travel to Rotterdam for the reverse fixture at the end of next month.

Advocaat once declared his time with Rangers as ‘the best of his life’, and is fondly remembered by many Gers fans.

But he has not always been good to those of a Rangers persuasion – denying them the Uefa Cup as manager of Zenit St Petersburg 11 years ago.

This is what they are saying about his latest move on Twitter…

Feyenoord are Advocaat’s 20th different employers in 39 years, after notable spells with PSV Eindhoven, Sunderland and the Netherlands.

Rangers fans – where does Advocaat rank among former Ibrox bosses?
