Former QPR star Paul Parker has urged Michael Beale to break his silence on the prospect of an emotional move back to Rangers and let the Loftus Road legions know if he’s up for an Ibrox return.
The 42-year-old former Light Blues coach is odds-on to succeed axed Giovanni van Bronckhorst and return to his old stomping ground where he played a key role in helping Steven Gerrard lead the club to their first Scottish Premiership title in a decade. That meant Celtic missed out on an historic league crown in a row.
Beale followed Gerrard to Aston Villa from Glasgow a year ago before going out on his own in the summer when he took his first senior managerial role at QPR. And R’s director of football Les Ferdinand revealed this week, in an exclusive interview with Record Sport, that he wouldn’t stand in Beale’s way if he wanted to return to Rangers.
