# Rangers: Fans react to Dick Advocaat footage

**Many Glasgow Rangers fans have been wishing former manager Dick Advocaat well as he oversaw his last game as a manager [before retiring on Sunday](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/watch-dick-advocaat-emotional-farewell-24167766).**

The 73-year-old spent three years in charge at Ibrox between 1998 and 2001 and had plenty of success with the 55-time Scottish champions. [Under his stewardship](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dick-advocaat/erfolge/trainer/3), Rangers won the league twice, the Scottish Cup twice and the Scottish League Cup once. The Gers had some wonderful players during his time there, such as [Ronald de Boer and Giovanni van Bronckhorst](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dick-advocaat/eingesetzteSpieler/trainer/3/plus/0?saison_id=&verein_id=124&liga=&wettbewerb_id=), and they were generally a joy to watch.

A few years later, he [masterminded](https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2008/0514/231847-rangers_zenit/) Zenit St Peterburg’s 2-0 triumph over the Gers in the UEFA Cup final in Manchester.

The Dutchman’s career has seen him manage all over the globe and his [41-year career](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/watch-dick-advocaat-emotional-farewell-24167766) in the dugout finally came to an end on Sunday – he went out on a high as Feyenoord beat Utrecht 2-0. A video has emerged of him getting emotional during the match, and that played on the heartstrings of many Gers supporters.

The clip was [shared on Twitter by @FootballOranje\_](https://twitter.com/FootballOranje_/status/1396417876458938372), and it attracted plenty of attention from the Gers fans. They took to the social media platform to share their thoughts, with some dubbing Advocaat an Ibrox “legend”.
