Giovanni van Bronckhorst strikes cautionary note amid exultation of Rangers fans

Nothing that Giovanni van Bronckhorst could say was likely to dampen the mood of euphoria which continues to imbue Rangers supporters after their team’s remarkable 4-2 win over Borussia Dortmund in Germany on Thursday night.

But while the Rangers manager is more than content to ride the wave of positivity his team generated with their performance in the first leg of their Europa League knockout round play-off tie, he is wary of the instant rush to declare it as one of the greatest results in the Ibrox club’s history.

As far as van Bronckhorst is concerned, that can only be seriously debated if Rangers complete the job in Glasgow next week and progress to the last 16 of the tournament.

While the Scottish champions are clearly in the box seat in that regard, van Bronckhorst is understandably keen to avoid any hint of complacency.

"Hopefully we can make sure this win we had (in Dortmund) can also mean we are going through to the next round – because, obviously, that is the main objective we have in this tie.

“I don’t know exactly (where the result ranks in Rangers’ history). I don’t have all the results in my mind of the history of this club.
