Rangers: Van Bronckhorst facing key 'problem' in title race

The Glasgow giants pulled off one of their finest ever European results to beat Dortmund 6-4 on aggregate following a 2-2 draw at Ibrox last Thursday but dropped more points in their pursuit of a second consecutive Scottish Premiership title on Sunday.

As a result, the Ibrox outfit have gone from leading Celtic by six points in the race to the title, to trailing them by three points.
That gap could have been five had their Old Firm rivals not slipped up at Hibs on Sunday, with Rangers unable to take advantage after they squandered a two-goal lead to draw with Motherwell.
He told GIVEMESPORT: “The problem for Rangers is that they’re drawing too many games, especially away from home.
“The Dortmund games were great results, but if they look back on this season, and they finish second, they’re not really going to be talking about beating Dortmund, they’re going to talk about losing the league.”
