Book Description
The reign of any Rangers manager is inevitably lively and colourful but the three and a half years Dick Advocaat spent at the Ibrox helm spanned arguably the most controversial, intriguing and far-reaching period in over a century of football at the Govan club.
Brought in by Ibrox owner David Murray in the summer of 1998 as the club's first ever foreign manager, the 'Little General' represented the high point in the ambitions of Rangers Football Club and its fans. What followed were some of the greatest highs and lows ever witnessed in the Govan club's history.
