BREAKING NEWS: Giovanni Van Bronckhorst confirmed as Rangers' new manager following Steven Gerrard's exit to Aston Villa

Rangers have confirmed the arrival of Giovanni Van Bronckhorst as the club's new manager following Steven Gerrard's exit to Aston Villa.

The Dutchman returns to Ibrox 20 years after leaving the Glasgow side as a player, with the 46-year-old picking up managerial experience at Feyenoord and the Chinese Super League.

Van Bronckhorst won the Eredivisie with Dutch side Feyenoord in 2017 and is immediately faced with another title challenge at Rangers this season, with the Ibrox club currently four points ahead of rivals Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premier League.
