Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers’ current boss Mark Warburton is under pressure.

Ronald De Boer has deflected the question, when asked whether his brother, Frank, would be interested in taking the Glasgow Rangers job on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 8th February.

The De Boer brothers both represented Rangers during their playing days. Ronald was at Ibrox for four years, while Frank was there for a year in 2004.

With Mark Warburton currently under pressure at Rangers, it was suggested to Ronald that there could be a vacancy at Ibrox soon.

But the Dutch international simply put on record his hope that Rangers would get back on track soon, and urged the Ibrox faithful to be patient.

“They’re struggling big time, but you have to be patient. It’s their first season back after a few years of troubles,” Ronald De Boer said. “They have such a big support, I hope the people and the manager get to be patient. It’s a young team.

“About Frank, he also is patient. He waits until there is an opportunity. Who knows? Maybe in the Premier League there is an opportunity for him.”

Warburton has come under increasing pressure in recent weeks, after Rangers were beaten by Hearts and then held to a draw by Ross County in their most recent outing.

Rangers are currently in third place in the Scottish Premiership table, behind both Celtic and Aberdeen.

The Light Blues are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Greenock Morton in the Scottish Cup.
