Leon King gives early Rangers insight into life under Michael Beale as he hails 'amazing' start

Leon King has opened up on the early days of Michael Beale's Rangers tenure and admits it's been 'amazing'.

The 18-year-old has been thrown into the deep end this season due to the Light Blues' injury crisis in defence with Filip Helander, John Souttar, Connor Goldson and Ben Davies all struggling with injuries. The latter two are set to return to training this week and could make returns against Hibs on Thursday night in a major boost to the Ibrox side.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst - who has since been sacked - had to call on the youngster for big Champions League games against the likes of Liverpool and Napoli while he was also a key feature in the Premiership over the past couple of months. He was once again in from the start in Beale's first game in charge alongside James Sands. King has hailed the intensity of training under the new boss as he heaped praise on his fellow academy graduates who featured in the 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen.
