Gio needs time from Rangers as Jan Wouters urges board to be smart and realise root cause of woes

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Few people know Giovanni van Bronckhorst any better than Jan Wouters. When the current Rangers boss first arrived at Ibrox as a player in 1998, Wouters was a coach working under Dick Advocaat.

And when van Bronckhorst became a gaffer for the first time at Feyenoord 17 years later, he made Wouters one of his assistants.

The 62-year-old has taken a keener interest in Rangers’ results since his fellow Dutchman took over from Steven Gerrard 12 months ago.

He was full of admiration – but not surprise – at the job he did in leading the club to the Europa League Final in May. And Wouters is now well aware of how things have turned sour for van Bronckhorst at Ibrox.
