Rangers boss Gio van Bronckhorst is still in with a chance of sealing a sensational first term in charge of the Ibrox club between now and May.

He still has the opportunity to lift the Premiership, Europa League and Scottish Cup titles before the campaign comes to an end, having taken over the keys in the first half of the season.

They are second in the league, in the quarter-finals of the European competition and into the last four of the domestic cup, which shows that they are within touching distance of major success.

The ex-Feyenoord boss is not the first Dutch manager to step foot in the dugout at Ibrox. Dick Advocaat was in charge of the Glasgow giants for three years and managed 195 games – winning an impressive 135 of those as his team scored 427 times during his tenure and won the domestic treble in his first campaign.

However, Advocaat was not perfect and cost the Gers millions with one shocking transfer decision in 2000. He opted to sign Norweigan striker Tore Andre Flo from Chelsea for a reported fee of £12m and it ended up being a disaster for the club.

Despite bringing the talented centre-forward in for a club-record fee, Rangers did not win a single trophy in the 2000/01 campaign. He scored a respectable 13 goals in 22 matches in all competitions but did not do enough to bring home any silverware that year as Celtic pipped them to the trophies.

In the following season, Advocaat left Rangers in January and Alex McLeish took over. Flo found top form as he bagged himself 25 goals in all competitions across 46 appearances – showing that he was more reliable in terms of availability and his end product.

However, his goals were – again – not enough to win the title for the Gers as the Hoops snatched it up again and the club opted to cut their losses on him in the summer of 2002.

They sold him to English side Sunderland for a reported fee of £6.75m ahead of the 2002/03 campaign, which meant that Rangers lost £5.25m on the striker in just two years.

This means that the club failed to be successful on the pitch with him in the side and made a huge loss on his value in a short space of time. Therefore, Advocaat cost the Gers millions with his decision to bring the forward to Ibrox for such a big transfer fee, as he did not live up to the hype and was unsuccessful on and off the pitch as a player and as an investment.
