Former Rangers midfielder Kevin Thomson reckons Michael Beale CAN lead the Ibrox side to the Scottish Premiership title this season.
However, he has warned that if they don't challenge Celtic the pressure will quickly pile on the former Queens Park Rangers boss. Beale stepped into the hot seat after a lacklustre campaign for Rangers so far this term, with Gio van Bronckhorst being shown the door with Ange Postecoglou's men on course for a second consecutive title victory having carved out a convincing nine point lead at the top.
Beale took charge of his first victory during the 3-0 friendly victory over Bayer Leverkusen, and will look to keep that early momentum during his first competitive game at the helm against Hibs. Thomson reckons that a victory over Lee Johnson's side is vital for the season ahead, and reckons Beale will be telling the players they can still lift the league title at the end of the campaign.
