QPR chief Les Ferdinand has insisted he won’t stand in Michael Beale’s way if the former Ibrox coach is serious about becoming Rangers boss.
Steven Gerrard’s one-time No.2 has been installed as the clear favourite to replace Giovanni van Bronckhorst, who was sacked by the club on Monday after weeks of speculation over his Gers future. Ex-Burnley boss Sean Dyche and Kevin Muscat - Ange Postecoglou’s successor at Japanese champions Yokohama - have been also tipped as serious contenders.
But the Daily Record reports Beale is leading the race and is interested in replacing the Dutchman. The Londoner was a senior figure in Gerrard’s backroom team as they led the club to its first title in a decade 18 months ago but left when the Liverpool legend was tempted back south by Aston Villa.
