Rangers chief James Bisgrove admits sacking Michael Beale was a painful process he hopes he won’t have to repeat “for a long, long time”.
The next manager search has been dominating the talking points at Rangers - but with Philippe Clement in the dugout attention now turns to the vacant director of football role.
Rangers have reporedly eyed Sam Jewell as a target to become their director of football.
So it looks like we’re down to a straight shootout between Philippe Clement and Kevin Muscat to become the 19th man to manage Rangers.
Philippe Clement has never worked without one. Kevin Muscat served his coaching apprenticeship under a man who showed at Celtic he didn’t need one. And former Rangers ace Neil Murray simply can’t believe his old side still don’t have one.
Michael Beale was never the real deal as Rangers manager. The Bromley boy could talk the talk but couldn’t walk the walk. The fact the Rangers board saw him as the natural successor to Giovanni van Bronckhorst was alarming. He had a short spell at Queens Park Rangers but what had he done to justify being Rangers manager? He started well at QPR but then went into freefall. Yes, he might have coached in the academies at Liverpool and Chelsea and been a key component of Steven Gerrard’s backroom team but did that warrant the Rangers job? He was a very lucky man, yet, if you listen to Beale you would think he was up there with Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho. His results and performances certainly didn’t stand up to his claims. Also, when Ross Wilson departed he told everyone he didn’t need a sporting director. He could do the recruitment himself.
Rangers have reportedly made a major move in sharking up their scouting and recruitment set-up by showing club legends John Brown and Billy Kirkwood the door.
Rangers have kicked off a complete overhaul of their scouting and player recruitment departments.
