Rangers legend Ally McCoist says his excitement level over Michael Beale’s imminent appointment is “six out of 10” and reckons the main reason he is getting the job is because the “the players seem very comfortable with him".
Beale is set to be unveiled as Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s successor with the Londoner due to sign a three-and-a-half year deal to return to Govan just a year after departing for Aston Villa along with Steven Gerrard.
McCoist admitted his surprise at the move given Beale’s lack of experience as a boss in his own right having taken over his first senior managerial job in the summer when he was appointed QPR gaffer. He has lost four of his last five in charge after a flying start at Loftus Road. The Scotland strike legend says he must sort out the recruitment and after being asked to mark out of 10 by talkSPORT presenter Laura Woods, he hesitated which she said told its own story. He then added: “It’s not going to be a 10 and it’s not going to be a one. It’s somewhere in-between – probably about a six to tell you the truth.”
