Charlie Nicholas has launched a stern defence of new Rangers boss Michael Beale after the Englishman came under fire for jumping ship so soon in to his reign as Queens Park Rangers manager.
Beale is back at Ibrox, this time in the hot-seat, after being Steven Gerrard's second in command during their three-and-a-half years in Glasgow that saw the Scottish Premiership won at the expense of Celtic. The Englishman then went on to follow the Liverpool icon to Aston Villa before landing the role at Loftus Road and serving less than 30 games in charge.
This led to Rs fans sharing their dislike for Beale's decision to accept the job of being Giovanni Van Bronckhorst's successor after such a short spell in London. Beale was spotted in the Ibrox crowd while the Dutchman was still in charge, but Hoops hero Nicholas believes this isn't a big deal and that the 'conspiracy theorists' around Beale's appointment should stay in their lane.
