And it looks as though their search will soon come to an end.

The Gers opened formal discussions with Van Bronckhorst to replace Steven Gerrard in London last weekend.

According to the Scottish Sun, he has since held further talks with the Rangers hierarchy.

And the outlet claims Van Bronckhorst expects to be told whether the job is his over the course of the next day.

Van Bronckhorst would be a popular appointment at Rangers given his quality and links with the club.

He played for Rangers between 1998 and 2001 and won five trophies at Ibrox, including two league titles.

The 46-year-old also played for Barcelona, Arsenal and Feyenoord, as well as winning over 100 caps for the Netherlands.

As a manager, Van Bronckhorst led Feyenoord to the Eredivisie title in 2017 – their first in 18 years.

He also won two KNVB Cups and two Johan Cruyff Shields while in charge of the Rotterdam club.
