Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers parted ways with Mark Warburton on Saturday evening.
Ronald de Boer has told BBC Sport that he has sympathy with former Glasgow Rangers boss Mark Warburton.
Warburton parted ways with Rangers on Saturday evening, with the Ibrox side releasing a statement suggesting that he had resigned from his post.
Although Warburton claimed that he had never stepped down, the 54-year-old will definitely not be returning to the Glasgow club any time soon.
Rangers have failed to live up to expectations so far this season, and currently sit in third place in the Scottish Premiership table.
The Light Blues failed to win either of their last two matches which Warburton was in charge for, and the pressure was growing on the former Brentford boss prior to his departure.
However, De Boer insists that he has some sympathy for Warburton, as he was not given much time to put things right, after guiding the side to promotion.
“Of course [I have sympathy for Warburton],” the former Rangers defender said.

“You have to be patient, take your time and of course some players will do great in the Championship and then when you come to the Premiership it’s different.
“Sometimes you have to see it happen and then you can judge certain players, because the pressure is suddenly way higher.
“The money is not there anymore, it’s in La Liga or the Premier League, in the German league, the Italian – even the French league is more exciting than the Dutch and the Scottish. It’s very difficult so we have to accept we have to build with young talent and have to be patient.”
De Boer’s brother, Frank, is now one of the favourites to take over at Rangers – but the Dutch manager is said to only be interested in taking the job at the end of the season.
