Michael Beale admitted he counts himself lucky to be Rangers manager – weeks after using the same word to describe rival Ange Postecoglou caused a stir.
The Englishman says he’s fortune to be in the Ibrox hotseat and doesn’t see it as work. Beale called Postecoglou as a “lucky man” when he spoke of the Aussie’s spending power at champions Celtic and that has seen Postecoglou frequently refer to Beale’s description in his own press conferences.
Now Beale says he is lucky to be in charge of Rangers after succeeding Giovanni van Bronckhorst back in November as he looks to continue his unbeaten run to start in life at Ibrox when they take on Partick Thistle in the Scottish Cup on Sunday. The 42-year-old said: “I don’t see what I do as work. If you can do that in life then you are very lucky. A lot of people would love to be in this position and this is never lost on me. When away from the training ground, I spend time in the countryside with my family.
