Giovanni van Bronckhorst still has faith in this Rangers team to compete despite their Old Firm defeat to Celtic at the weekend – as they prepare for their Champions League group-stage opener against Ajax.
The Gers were well beaten by Ange Postecoglou’s team on Saturday, succumbing to a 4-0 defeat at Celtic Park to leave them five points behind their arch-rivals already.
Now the focus turns to Europe’s top table as they travel to Dutch champions Ajax on Wednesday night – but Van Bronckhorst believes this is the best Rangers side he could have assembled this summer.

When asked if he has any regrets in the transfer window, Van Bronckhorst said in his press conference: “I have no regrets at all, none. Otherwise we would have brought in other players. We had a lot of players going out and going in.
“I believe in the squad, there was talk of new players in and out. There was talk about having loads of money in the bank which is not the case. We have to keep going and make sure we make the squad we have now stronger in our development.”
