Giovanni van Bronckhorst

I'm sure I'll get penalties in the comments for that.

Something I spoke about in the post-match yesterday as well has reminded me of the Calvin Bassey game at Hamden with Tom Rogic under Giovanni Van Bronckhorst.

where that day he was playing centre-back.

But Van Proggers just said to him, you are going to follow Tom Rogge everywhere.

Took him out the game completely.

And it actually reminded me of something a couple of years ago when Rangers played Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden and it was under Giovanni Van Bronckhorst and that day he asked Calvin Bassi to just man mark Tom Rogic who was that day and completely nullify him and take him out of the game and he'd done that absolutely perfectly that day and I think there was a lot of similarities with that today from James Penrith and asking him to go into a role he's not completely comfortable with but I tell you what by the way he was absolutely brilliant in that role so I'm definitely not going to say anything about it but yeah huge credit to the manager like I said off the ball shape fantastic pressing from the front fantastic and when Rangers were in possession they didn't want to play it around and entice Celtic to press them in certain areas they wanted Celtic to press them in their back line And as soon as Celtic pushed up and they left space in between the lines, Rangers were going direct.

They were hitting the likes of Kevin Kelsey, but they were hitting the likes of Ryan Nadiri, and they were really utilising their strengths, and that's what it's all about.

So just before I jump into the individuals, I wanted to say that about Derek McInnes.

Well, we'll see how Barcelona get on this evening.

They're up against their former defender, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's Feyenoord.

Barcelona who, correct me if I'm wrong, Paul, have scored five goals in three of their four matches so far.

That's absolutely true.

Our reporter for that game, Graham Hunter, will be covering the game and he's been giving his insights on this huge fixture.

there'll be a hugely warm welcome back for ex-pupil Giovanni Van Bronckhorst, who of course won the Champions League with Barca when he was their star left back.

They won it in Paris against Arsenal and famously he and Henrik Larsson celebrated, came back to the Timotel, stood outside it and sang the Barca anthem until everybody woke up.

He'll be a much more serious fan of Bronkhorst than the Camp Nou dugout on Wednesday night, and that's only natural.
