Michael Beale is planning a Rangers squad cull this summer, insisting he has too many players and doesn't want to ‘devalue’ the Light Blue shirt.
The Ibrox gaffer added just two new faces to his squad during the January transfer window in the shape of Todd Cantwell and Nicolas Raskin. And it seems the priority at the end of the season will be trimming the fat. Taking into account his young guns out on loan, Beale wants a core of seven or eight stars who will play most weeks, with the rest providing support to them, as was the case during his time at Liverpool and English Premier League pace setters Arsenal this season.
“We have too many players in my opinion,” Beale said. “There’s a reason we’ve carried one or two more, we’ve had injury problems and we’ve had to supplement that. When I say we have too many, we have young players out on loan as well."
