White has now joined Premier League champions Liverpool as First Team Physical Performance Coach. 

And he might not be the only man with a Rangers background at Anfield next season. 

Indeed, former Ibrox boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst is reportedly close to being appointed to a role in Arme Slot's backroom team. 

The Dutchman spent just under a year in charge of Rangers, leading the club he turned out for as a player to the 2022 Europa League final.

He will replace his fellow countryman John Heitinga, who recently left Anfield to take on the role of head coach at Eredivisie outfit Ajax. 

Van Bronckhorst spent a brief spell in charge of Besiktas after leaving Rangers before taking up a role on UEFA's Executive Committee.
