The official Europa League Twitter account has shared a video of Giovanni van Bronckhorst scoring a stunning free-kick for Rangers in the Champions League.
The Ibrox side announced van Bronckhorst as their new manager yesterday after a short search.
The Dutchman was the ideal candidate for many Rangers fans. With his passion for the club and managerial experience, it was a no-brainer for Rangers to appoint him.
The news has reverberated around European football since the appointment and rightly so.
His stay at Rangers was relatively short, playing for the Ibrox side for only three years. However, he went on to win league titles at Arsenal and Barcelona.
Whilst at the Catalan side he also won the Champions League and starred for Holland as they reached the 2010 World Cup final, who can forget his fantastic long-range strike against Uruguay in the semi-final?
His standing in the European game is massive, with the official Europa League Twitter account sharing the news of Rangers’ newest appointment.
The tweet was a video of van Bronckhorst scoring a tremendous free-kick against Galatasaray in the Champions League in 2000.
It’s a stunning goal, which has Davie Cooper vibes all over it and the post shows how big this news is.
Rangers have managed to appoint a coach with plenty of managerial experience, having won the league with Feyenoord in 2017 and led them into the Champions League during the following campaign.
He faces a huge European tie next week against Sparta Prague in the Europa League and one which could set a marker for the rest of the season.
In other news, Kris Boyd has dropped some insight on GvB’s training methods after spending time with him at Feyenoord.
