Gio van Bronckhorst provides Rangers future update as boss can't guarantee he won't be sacked

Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has lamented his side's latest bout of dropped points which has their Premiership title hopes on the brink of extermination.

Jonathan Ayunga put the home side ahead after a tight first half and after just one shot on target beforehand, the Light Blues got level after VAR deemed Ryan Kent to have been fouled inside Saints' box. James Tavernier converted the penalty but they couldn't find a winner.

It leaves them six points behind Celtic in the title race but that total will become nine if they beat Ross County at home. There's growing shouts from fans for van Bronckhorst to leave his post and when asked if he would get time to turn around this situation, the Rangers boss responded: "We have to see, it's still football and if you have a run like this, a lot of things can happen but I have the backing of the board.

"They gave me confidence but in football, you never know. It's obviously not good enough. We started well, created chances. One big chance with Scott Wright. It's always difficult against a deep block.

"We have to be more ruthless in our box to clear dangerous moments. It's too many points. If you lose points at home against Livingston and away against St Johnstone and St Mirren, it's not good enough.

"We have the squad as it is now. We need to continue with the squad when we continue after the break. This is the squad we work on and every window you see if you can make changes in the squad to become stronger."
