Giovanni van Bronckhorst says he feels so lucky after being confirmed as the new manager of Rangers. The Dutchman, 46, will replace Steven Gerrard who left for Aston Villa – subject to being granted a work permit.

Van Bronckhorst played for Rangers between 1998 and 2001, claiming five trophies including two league titles. He went on to win more with Arsenal and Barcelona, including the Champions League with the latter, before coaching Feyenoord to the Dutch title. The versatile midfielder also won 106 caps for his country, captaining the Netherlands to the 2010 World Cup final, which was his final match as a player.

Van Bronckhorst, whose last job in management was a year with Guangzhou R&F in China, said he was absolutely delighted to become Rangers’ 17th permanent manager.
