‘I never have fear’ - Giovanni van Bronckhorst to hold showdown talks with Rangers board after St Mirren draw
Giovanni van Bronckhorst admits he will inevitably sit down and hold talks with the Rangers board after their 1-1 draw against St Mirren in Paisley - but insists he isn’t fearing over his Ibrox future.

“I don’t know,” Van Bronckhorst replied when quizzed over discussing his future. “Of course we’re going to sit down that’s for sure and speak about the last couple of months and which way to go forward.”
Asked if he feared for his job, Van Bronckhorst told Sky Sports: “I have no fear, I never have fear. I just see what comes but I don’t have fear. It’s a five-week break before the next game. That’s time to reflect, rest and recover and we have two weeks to recover for the first game against Hibs.
“If we keep dropping points, I’m accountable for that. That comes with the job. Of course I give the players instructions. That’s my job so we prepare the layers as best we can. They have to put in the performance and that’s always the case.”
