Cheeky Kris Boyd has claimed that Queens Park Rangers' slump in form before the World Cup break is because Michael Beale had 'one eye' on a move to Rangers.
Beale has made an emotional return to the club where he lifted the Scottish Premiership title alongside Steven Gerrard to become the club's 18th permanent manager little more than one year after leaving Ibrox. The 42-year-old has left QPR after just six months to become Light Blues boss, signing a three-and-a-half year deal, but the decision has left the Loftus Road faithful fuming.
Beale had remained loyal to the London-based side less than a month ago as he turned down an approach from English Premier League side Wolves. The decision was lauded by the QPR fans and management at the time but they struggled for form following the call and dropped to seventh in the table. Now a return to Rangers as Gio van Bronckhorst's successor proved too tempting to turn down for the Englishman.
