Joey Veerman in furious Rangers revisit as Wesley Sneijder branded an 'a******' for Champions League criticism

Loudmouth Joey Veerman has continued to look back on his nightmare Champions League at the hands of Rangers as the PSV Eindhoven midfielder took aim at Netherlands legend Wesley Sneijder.

The Dutch playmaker hasn't been shy in voicing his opinion on the Ibrox side after the Eredivise team were sent crashing out of Europe's elite competition in the playoff round, with Antonio Colak scoring the decisive goal in the second leg of the playoff. He has claimed on several occasions that PSV were the superior side and branded Rangers "very mediocre" recently - highlighting the defeat as the low point of his season so far.

Rather than taking another pop at the Light Blues, Veerman has now turned his attention to the pundits that rinsed the Dutch title hopefuls in the wake of the defeat. Veerman, who was previously on Rangers' transfer radar while at Heerenveen, has turned his form around after a false start to the season and has played a key role in PSV's push to claim to finish above Ajax and Feyenoord this term.

Following the turnaround, he took aim at the former Ajax, Real Madrid and Inter Milan star on Andy van der Meyde's podcast. Sneijder had claimed Veerman got "everything wrong" against Rangers and filleted him over a series of misplaced passes.

Veerman has now hit back on Bij Andy in de Auto stating: "If someone says something about you, you immediately think they are an a******. I also had that with Sneijder at the time.

"I realised I was bad, but thanks to him it felt like the whole country was on fire for a while and I had to go to the office every day. I also know that he has to say something on TV and think something about the game.

"I'm not sensitive to criticism, not at all. But I think some guys I know are treated quite harshly."
