Rangers director of football Dick Advocaat has confirmed he has rejected the opportunity to coach the Holland national side again.
The Dutch football federation (KNVB) had approached Advocaat to replace Louis van Gaal as their national coach for a second time after he guided the country to the 1994 World Cup finals.
But Advocaat insists his word is his bond with Ibrox chairman David Murray after moving upstairs to help new manager Alex McLeish.
"It was a difficult and emotional decision but, in the end, I have given a commitment to David Murray and to Rangers and that was very important for me," said Advocaat.
"I was naturally very flattered by the request from the Dutch federation to manage Holland for the second time in my career.
"They are going through a difficult time after failing to qualify for the World Cup so it says enough of what they think of me, having done quite a good job last time, that they asked me again.
"They were determined to make me their new manager and there are plenty of Dutch coaches who will never receive that invitation," Advocaat said.
"But I think I can make the system work here with me working between Alex McLeish and the chairman.
