Giovanni van Bronckhorst has admitted he wishes he was still manager of Rangers.
The former Ibrox boss has vowed he would have brought success to the club had he been granted more time in the dugout.
Van Bronckhorst, 50, is working as a pundit currently after leaving his most recent managerial role at Besiktas in November.

The Dutchman was sacked by Rangers in November 2022 after falling nine points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
However, Van Bronckhorst is confident he would have led Rangers to glory if he had remained in post at Ibrox.
Asked if he believed he could have brought sustained success to the club on TNT Sports, he said: "Of course, as a coach you want to win prizes, you want to develop the team and sometimes it doesn't go your way, the results.
"But as long as you are all on the same page in the way you want to go and how you want to go there...sometimes you are not on the same page, it's almost every time the coach will leave."
Quizzed on any frustrations over his dismissal, Van Bronckhorst said: "I'm frustrated because I had to leave because I am a fighter, I was a fighter as a player and also as a coach.
"I think I have done everything in my power to manage the club.

"If you have to say goodbye to a club, and a club I mean players, the fans to leave, that is not a nice feeling to leave something you love.
"But you have to live with it, you have to deal with it and you have to move on because life goes on.
"I am now in a very positive place where I enjoy life, I enjoy my family and enjoy watching really good games. We all move on."
On his exit, Van Bronckhorst added: "It's something you don't want as a coach. I wish I was still there coaching this team but I also know how it works in football and I am not deciding the future of the club.
"It is not ideal for a coach and I think also not ideal for a club."
