Kris Commons reckons Giovanni van Bronckhorst's controversial Champions League comments will have set alarm bells ringing at Rangers.

The Ibrox boss angered supporters after a 4-0 drubbing from Ajax last week when he insisted his side can't compete in the competition without "hundreds of millions".

The sobering result in Amsterdam followed losing to Celtic by the same scoreline just days earlier and piled pressure on Van Bronckhorst.

His side are already five points adrift of their city rivals in the Premiership and, after the manager's "defeatist" claims, Commons says he feels sorry for fans who forked out a hefty sum for the club's three-match Champions League ticket package.
