Gio van Bronckhorst and Rangers 'dynamic' rebrand in focus as Ronald de Boer explains how Steven Gerrard was surpassed

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Stepping into the shoes left behind at Ibrox by Steven Gerrard was always going to come with a serious risk for the new incumbent that they’d end up falling flat on their face.

Gerrard walked the walk, delivering the trophy the club had waited a decade for. But former Rangers legend Ronald de Boer reckons pal Gio van Bronckhorst can swagger his way into the hearts of Rangers fans everywhere if he delivers the club’s first European prize in 50 years.

De Boer reckons his old Gers and Dutch national team colleague must have reservations about replacing Gerrard.Taking over from the Liverpool icon after he’d written his name into Ibrox folklore by securing the club’s 55th title last season is akin to having Frank Sinatra passing you the mic and telling you to give it laldy.If van Bronckhorst had doubts, however, he’s kept them to himself.Get all the latest Rangers news sent straight to your Inbox every day by signing up to our newsletter.We cover every morsel of information regarding your favourite club in the form of articles, videos and podcasts.The newsletter will arrive every day at 12pm, giving you a round up of the best stories we've covered that in the last 24 hours.To sign up, simply enter your email address into the link here.And if you aren't already, make sure you join the conversation over on our Rangers Facebook group and Record Sport Instagram.Confidence in his abilities to do the job may have wavered a little as Rangers’ grasp on last year’s title slipped but de Boer has been impressed by the assured way his friend has gone about reshaping this Light Blues line-up in order to make them serious contenders on the continental stage.
