The search for Rangers next manager is on and Michale Beale is the leading candidate to make an emotional return to Glasgow.
Record Sport revealed the Londoner is keen to renew his Ibrox love affair 12 months after leaving with former boss Steven Gerrard for Aston Villa. And what a 12 months it's been for Beale with the 42-year-old exiting Villa Park in the summer to take the reins at Queens Park Rangers. And it's all change at Ibrox once again with Gerrard's successor Gio van Bronckhorst axed on Monday as a combination of domestic blues and the worst Champions League group stage in history put paid to the man who led Rangers to the Europa League Final. Beale said no to Wolves last month and stated his strong relationship with Les Ferdinand and other key QPR decision makers was pivotal. But a Rangers return could prove too good to turn down.
Beale has has spoken at length about his family's joy of life north of the border. He returned to catch up with old pals for the win over Aberdeen and even stopped into a well-known Rangers pub for a refreshment before kick-off. But would the old dog bring new tricks? Gerrard is on record stating Beale was the dominant force when it came to tactics and personnel during their time in Glasgow which led to Scottish Premiership title win by 25 points plus consecutive trips to the last 16 of the Europa League.
