Jorg Albertz has revealed the moment he knew his relationship with Rangers manager Dick Advocaat had turned toxic. 

The big German was in and out of the Dutchman’s side despite having cemented himself as a club legend under Walter Smith. 

And Albertz revealed TV footage of Advocaat in the aftermath of a crucial Champions League winner away in Eindhoven shows the depth of their disconnect. 

He told the Sunday Mail: “You can see the animosity for yourself. Look at the away game in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven in 1999. 

“Seriously, watch it. I don’t know if people will see it the same way but I came off the bench and scored the winning goal. 

“The TV camera goes to Advocaat after I scored and you can see in his mind, he’s saying: ‘Why did it have to be him that scored?’ 

“Look at it. He’s saying to himself: ‘Why him’? Just because he left me out of the team. 

“It’s going through his head at that moment, how can I leave him out of our next game now? 

“That’s proof that it was personal between him and I. He should have been happy – so why wasn’t he? 

“If someone else had scored that goal, he’d have been jumping up and down. 

“I have to say, the Dutch players he brought in – Giovanni, Arthur Numan, Ronald de Boer, Fernando Ricksen, Bert Konterman and Mikey Mols – were all top quality. 

“And having those guys there was good for everyone, including myself. That’s because if you have quality around you, it makes you play better.”
