Giovanni van Bronckhorst has revealed he faced "unique challenges and some very difficult circumstances to operate in" which led to his Rangers exit.
Van Bronckhorst was sacked by the Scottish Premiership club last week after one year in charge at Ibrox, with Gers nine points behind leaders Celtic.
The 47-year-old also oversaw a sobering Champions League campaign as the club lost all six group-stage matches, including a 7-1 hammering by Liverpool at home.
Van Bronckhorst - who signed a three-and-a-half-year deal to replace Steven Gerrard last November - has become one of the shortest-serving permanent managers in the club's history, although he says there were issues behind the scenes this season.
"This season, like every year at Rangers, the first priority is domestic success," he said in a statement on his Instagram. "I understand the hurt when wins become draws, and worse, when we experience defeat. That isn't acceptable at a club of Rangers' standing, no one understood that and felt that more than I did. I faced unique challenges and some very difficult circumstances to operate in.
"Rangers FC will always be in my heart and I wish the club all the success for the future. Once a Ranger, always a Ranger
