Michael Beale rinsed over Rangers move by emotional QPR favourite as he refuses to accept Ibrox 'ultimate dream' case

Michael Beale's decision to return to Rangers as manager has been criticised by former Queens Park Rangers favourite Jamie Mackie.

The Englishman opted to depart the Loftus Road side last week to replace Giovanni van Bronckhorst as Light Blues boss, who was dismissed from his role last week. Beale had only been in the job with the English Championship side since the summer, and left the R's sitting in the play off places. Beale's success with the QPR hadn't gone unnoticed and he knocked back the chance to manage Wolves in the English Premier League last month following the sacking of Bruno Lage.

But former Liverpool and Chelsea coach Beale has now penned a three-year deal in the hotseat at Ibrox, where he previously served as assistant coach to Steven Gerrard between 2018 and 2021. He followed Gerrard to Aston Villa before becoming a manager in his own right with QPR.
