Glasgow Rangers have announced the appointment of Michael Beale as head coach. The manager left QPR to take the place left vacant by Giovanni van Bronckhorst, who was sacked last week.

Michael Beale, new Rangers coach

Thus, new coach Yanisa Hagi returns to Ibrox Park, where he worked as Steven Gerrard’s assistant for three years.

He only became a manager this summer, having his first experience at QPR, which he managed to lead to the top of the Championship before going five games without a win.

“It’s fantastic to be back and see everyone again. I’m extremely proud, it’s a great club, it’s a huge privilege to coach such a special club,” Beal said, according to The Guardian.

Rangers are 2nd in the Scottish Premier League, 9 points behind leaders Celtic.
