Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst is set to bring Arno Philips and Yori Bosschaart to Ibrox as his coaching staff begins to take shape.
The Gers appointed Van Bronckhorst on Thursday as the Dutchman comes in to replace Steven Gerrard at Ibrox.
Given that Gerrard took most of Rangers’ coaching staff to Villa, Van Bronckhorst now needs to bring in coaches of his own.
Roy Makaay is coming in to help Van Bronckhorst, and the Daily Record claim two more arrivals are imminent.
The first is physio and conditioning coach Arno Philips, who has had a lengthy career in the game.
The 46-year-old got his start under Guus Hiddink with South Korea in 2001, following Hiddink to PSV Eindhoven, Australia and Russia.
Fred Rutten then took Philips to PSV, but he was soon back with Hiddink in jobs with Turkey and Anzhi Makhachkala.
Philips joined Philipp Cocu for a third spell at PSV in 2013, before joining Van Bronckhorst at Feyenoord and Guangzhou City.
A well-renowned coach who has worked for big figures in the Dutch game, Philips looks like a coup for Rangers.
Van Bronckhorst is also bringing in an analyst by the name of Yori Bosschaart, who currently helps Bert van Marwijk with the United Arab Emirates national team.
Bosschaart also worked with Van Bronckhorst with Feyenoord and Guangzhou City.
There could be more to come, but Van Bronckhorst is going for tried and trusted figures around the Dutch game to start his Rangers managerial career.
