Rangers have announced the appointment of Michael Beale as head coach, with the 42-year-old controversially walking out on QPR.
Beale returns to Rangers having previously worked at Ibrox during Steven Gerrard’s tenure, before following him to Aston Villa in 2021. Beale was only handed his first role as a No.1 in the summer, when given the reigns at Loftus Road.
After a smart start to the season in west London, at one point leading QPR to the top of the Championship table, he made headlines in October when rejecting a move to Premier League side Wolves, explaining: “Integrity and loyalty are big things for me and if they are the values you live by you have to be strong. I have been all-in here and I have asked other people to be all-in so I can’t be the first person to run away from the ship."
