Lyndon Dykes has opened up on Michael Beale's 'crazy' QPR exit for Rangers.
The Light Blues announced the 42-year-old as Giovanni van Bronckhorst's successor following the decision to sack the Dutchman. That opened the door for a return for Steven Gerrard's former No2 to make a stunning Ibrox return. He had earlier rejected the chance to leave his first managerial post for the English Premier League with Wolves citing integrity and loyalty as reasons for staying at Loftus Road.
However, just weeks later he made the decision to quit the English Championship side to return to Glasgow and take on the managerial position. Scotland international Dykes was a key player under the new Rangers gaffer during his time at QPR as he hailed his training sessions and said he was very firm with his ideas.
The squad wished him all the best on his new adventure with Dykes certain he will prove to be a success in Govan. Breaking his silence on the situation, he told South London Press : “We all got on with the manager – he was great.
“He came in and knew what he wanted to do straight away – he was very firm, and his training sessions were very good.
“We were all disappointed to see him leave. It’s football, and it’s so crazy sometimes – it moves so quickly.
“An opportunity came up for him, and he decided to go for that. We all wished him all the best.
“I’m sure he will do great up there. He’s very highly spoken of in the football scene.
“Now we have to move forward in that and focus on ourselves. I’m sure he will be looking from afar and always keeping an eye on us and hoping we’re doing well.
“It’s been a bit of a crazy time. We all have to adjust, but that’s football – you can pick up your bags one day and be on the other side of the country.
“Now we have got a mentality where we want to prove everyone wrong and prove ourselves right. We are capable of doing it, we just have to have switched on heads and make sure we give it all.”
