He's sparked new life into Rangers - and Philippe Clement's positive start to life hasn't been deemed a great look for his predecessor.
It's been a strong start to life under the new boss but they find themselves eight points off Celtic in the Premiership with a game in hand heading into the November international break - despite him winning every domestic game played so far.
Michael Beale's horror start to the season included defeats to Kilmarnock and Celtic before poor performances were compounded by a 3-1 defeat to Aberdeen.
That was enough for the Rangers board to pull the trigger and former defender Craig Moore think it's the energy, desire and work ethic in Clement's team that has been the biggest difference between the two gaffers so far.
