New Rangers boss Michael Beale is out of make a name for himself at Ibrox but he’s been given some top billing to live up to.
One Hotline punter reckons the new man in charge in Govan can follow a similar path to the greatest gaffer to sit in the hottest. Jimmy Strangers, Tranent, said: “To all the Hotliners out there who doubt Michael Beale do you remember a certain Walter Smith? Walter lacked managerial experience when Graeme Souness brought him to Ibrox and look what he went on to do. Michael – like Walter – was the brains in his partnership so it could be another amazing run is on the cards.”
Speaking of Smith, there was another comparison suggested. Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny , said: “Beale needs a decent no. 2 to prove the doubters wrong. David Martindale manager of Livingston is a must, like Souness did in bringing in Walter Smith these two can bring back the glory years.” There was plenty of advice for the Rangers boss. Neil Renton, Edinburgh , said: “If I was a Rangers fan I’d already be sceptical about Beale. He states he wants to keep Alfredo Morelos at the Ibrox club. The striker is more of a hindrance than a help to the club and should be shipped off as soon as the transfer window opens.”
