Kenny Miller says he's been told that Rangers will have up to a fortnight of no training - and that provides a perfect chance to stick or twist with their manager.
There are growing calls for Giovanni van Bronckhorst to leave from some fans while pundits are questioning whether it's possible for him to survive a 1-1 draw with St Mirren on Saturday. Rangers have won two of their last five Premiership matches and are nine points off leaders Celtic heading into the World Cup.
While not commenting on what he wants to happen, Miller revealed on Sportsound that he's been made aware that the Ibrox players will have 10-14 days off ahead of facing Hibs on December 15th. That is an ideal time, in his opinion to either stay with van Bronckhorst or dismiss him. He explained: "I think a decision needs to be made one way or another.

“If the decision is going to go one way and Gio was to leave then this break gives you the wee moment (to decide) if you are going to stick or you are going to twist. If you are going to twist then this break gives you effectively what is a pre-season again, which we have never had mid-season.
"Even the winter break is not this length of time. If there is a new guy he is going to need a bit of time to work, and it’s a completely different way, he needs time.
"It’s a fresh voice and it could make an impact. If what I have heard is right, there's going to be between 10-14 days the players are going to have off. You have time to have discussions and what the route forward is going to be for the team."
