The new Rangers manager expects to implement his own system in his first match against Sparta Prague on Thursday
Indications are that Giovanni van Bronckhorst will not be shy when it comes to shaking things up at Rangers. The Dutchman has been afforded only two days of training with his squad before Sparta Prague visit Ibrox on Europa League business on Thursday. Steven Gerrard, now at Aston Villa, implemented a solid template; his successor is clearly of a mind to put forward one of his own.
“It has been a very short time with the players but I think they can already sense what I want to change and what is needed to become successful again,” Van Bronckhorst says. “Not only on the pitch but the way we behave as a team and the way we prepare mentally. You cannot do everything in two days, I need more time, but step by step I am sure the players will understand the way I work and the way I want to play.
