The Rangers truth on Beale and Gerrard dynamic from inside Ibrox as myth busted about boss in waiting

Ideas, innovation and inspiration.

Graham Dorrans saw it all from Michael Beale at Rangers. His only regret is that he didn’t get to experience MORE of it while he was there. The former Ibrox midfielder was at the club when Steven Gerrard arrived as gaffer in 2018 and brought unknown quantity Beale with him.

For most of that first season, Dorrans was injured and got precious little time on the training pitch. But every day he’d peer out the gym window and marvel at Beale’s sessions. He says the Londoner did EVERYTHING at Rangers when Gerrard was manager. And Dorrans insists the coach was a huge part in the club’s eventual 55th title success three years later. While Gerrard was the figurehead, Beale was the brains behind the tactics that saw Rangers reborn at home and in Europe. The Queens Park Rangers manager is frontrunner to become the club’s new boss after Gio van Bronckhorst was sacked last week.
