Michael Beale will go head-to-head with a carefully selected list of candidates in order to land the Rangers job in the wake of Gio van Bronckhorst’s sacking.
Beale is highly likely to come under consideration. But Record Sport understands Rangers will speak to more than one candidate as they want the process to be as rigorous as possible. However, the former Ibrox coach ticks a lot of the required boxes as far as what the Ibrox decision makers are looking for as director of football Ross Wilson looks to get his next appointment spot on after taking heat in recent weeks and months.
His in-depth knowledge of a lot of the current squad means he wouldn’t be going in with a need to swot up on everyone in the dressing room. Beale would also have goodwill in the bank from the fans due to delivering title number 55 after an unbeaten season with Steven Gerrard at the helm. Part of the staff that stopped ten-in-a-row doesn’t do any harm in the popularity stakes either.
