Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst 'has a lot to prove', claims Simon Jordan

Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst 'has a lot to prove', claims radio pundit

RANGERS manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst still has "a lot to prove".

That's the view of talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan.

The former Crystal Palace owner claims he foreseen the "hiding" that Rangers would get at Celtic Park on Saturday.

And while he recognises the achievements of the Dutchman and his side on the European front, he reckons it's abundantly clear Celtic have the stronger manager in Ange Postecoglou.

Jordan told talkSPORT: “There’s a lot for Giovanni van Bronckhorst to prove. He’s done very well in Europe but not so well domestically.

"They did exactly to them as they did to them in a previous game at Parkhead except they added an extra goal to it and kept going in the second half.

“Celtic are just in a slightly different place at this moment in time. They’ve got a stronger manager and domestically Rangers are short. There is a difference.

"You get better opportunities in European football to do certain things. I said they would get a doing. I didn’t say it would be nip and tuck. I said they would get a doing and a doing is what they got.”
