Giovanni van Bronckhorst has broken his silence following his sacking from Rangers with an emotional message to fans
The manager was relieved of his duties earlier this week following a string of poor results this season.
Van Bronckhorst's spell was marked by a strangely mercurial nature that was to be his undoing. The club reached the Europa League final, won a Scottish Cup and qualified for the Champions League but also struggled at times against less glamourous opposition domestically, particularly away from home. Writing on Instagram, he said:"The opportunity to manage an institution like Rangers FC is a privilege which very few are afforded. As a former player, I understood the responsibility and magnitude of the task.
"We experienced some incredible highs, especially on our European journey to Seville. Winning the Scottish Cup for the first time in over a decade and qualifying for the group stage of the Champions League is something I am very proud of. The passion of our support drove us on to achieve those wonderful memories. For that, I am forever grateful to every single one of you who travelled near and far, spent your hard-earned money, and never gave up supporting our team.
