Giovanni van Bronckhorst could be spared being sacked by Rangers because he’s still picking up the tab for stopping Celtic’s bid for 10-in-a-row.
The Rangers boss has jetted off on a family holiday with his Ibrox future in serious doubt after a damaging slump which has left his team turfed out of Europe and nine points behind Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
But sources in Holland believe van Bronckhorst still has the backing of a board sympathetic to his predicament after asking him to bite the bullet in the transfer market to cover the costs of financing Steven Gerrard ’s title-winning season of 2019/20, reports The Daily Record.
It’s thought the Rangers hierarchy accept his situation has been further undermined by a crippling injury list. Van Bronckhorst has now headed off for a short break in the belief he’ll be back at Auchenhowie to resume work while the World Cup is ongoing.
A source told Record Sport : “There have been no discussions that would make him feel otherwise.”
