Michael Beale insists it was his destiny to manage Rangers as he targeted bringing glory back to Ibrox.
But Hotline callers reckon the new boss’ fate could soon be headed in a very different direction. The Londoner returned to Govan just over a year since leaving his post as assistant boss and this time he’s the main man. He wasn’t beating around the bush when he said title number 56 needs to be won as soon as possible and their cup record has to be improved.
But James Kennedy, Kilsyth, said: “So Mick The Manager has come in talking big and tough. Such an attitude might strike fear into the hearts of his squad, impress the board and fool the fans into a false sense of security but I don’t anticipate a rush to buy brown underpants from the Celtic board, management team, players and most of all the supporters. Talk is cheap. It’s what happens on the park that will reveal the true state of affairs.” Kevin Kean, Inchinnan, said: “ Beale seems to be very sure of his skills and gave a very cocky introduction speech. It will look very awkward if he fails to get any points against Hibs or Celtic.”
