GIOVANNI van Bronckhorst's differences in management style compared to Steven Gerrard have been highlighted by former Rangers star Neil McCann.

The Dutchman, 46, has three wins from three games so far in his time in the duggout in Glasgow.

The former Ibrox player replaced Gerrard as the Liverpool legend opted to move to Aston Villa.

Gio has enjoyed a perfect start, with Kemar Roofe slotting home a penalty at Easter Road to maintain his 100 percent record.

Former Rangers star McCann praised his former side's win in the capital, as he pointed out some key differences in the way the team now sets-up.

Appearing on BBC Sportscene, he said: "I think it is a brilliant three points as it is a difficult venue to go considering Hibs were so comprehensively better than Rangers in the semi-final.

“I think there is going to be changes. I don’t think Rangers have hit top form throughout the season – even under Steven Gerrard – I think everybody concedes that.

“I think Rangers wanted a bit of time to get used to how Giovanni wants to play. There is very distinct differences. The way the full-backs operate is totally different.

“I think Gio will want his wide players to be wide players and the full-backs to be backing up rather than the first port of call for the width.

“That in turn will change how they play through the midfield and I think they are a lot more reserved out of possession.

“That touches on where Giovanni has maybe made a change.

“I think the 4-2-3-1 they are more structured out of possession whereas with Steven [Gerrard] there was a high press and a relationship to how quick the passing was from the defensive third would determine how Rangers would move.

“But Rangers look like they are funnelling in to a more solid shape and making it harder to break through.

“You look at the semi-final and how much room [Martin] Boyle had – particularly with the pace – he didn’t really have too many opportunities.

“Maybe one or two in the first half inside [Borna] Barasic, so I think there is definitely changes there and I think that probably made the game a more difficult watch for everybody.”
