Michael Beale has told the Ibrox first team players that they are a bunch of winner!
That will be the squad that entered the Champions League record books with six straight defeats and got their manager sacked after falling nine points behind Celtic after just 15 matches.
The exclusive revelation comes from ‘dressing room sources’ of the Daily Record.
It really is quite a stretch to address James Tavernier, Ryan Jack, Alfredo Morelos, John Lundstram and the rest that they are a bunch of winners but that is the feel good message sent out to Record readers this morning.
Michael Beale swept into power at Rangers and told his bowled over squad they’re a bunch of winners. The Englishman became the Ibrox giant’s 18th manager when he signed a three-and-a-half year deal to replace the axed Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
Beale spoke to club media upon his unveiling as he pledged to make the players successful again. But Record Sport understands they were left deeply impressed by his vision he laid out to them within the confines of the training centre.
Dressing-room sources have told us he spelt out a three-point plan as the former QPR manager took training for the first time, a session that excited them. Beale is believed to have told the squad he firstly wants them to win – but also with a style that will delight the fans. He also called for them to be united, and ready to take on all-comers.
Eight defeats between September 3 and November 6 is quite an achievement, telling that group of players that they are actually winners is an equal achievement. Publishing the claim is part of the Record DNA with Everyone, Anyone expected to be called up over the next few days to drool over Mick, except football managers in the English Championship.
If Beale was addressing a group of winners Giovanni van Bronckhorst would still be in charge with Beale displaying some loyalty to QPR.
In the middle of January Beale faces Aberdeen at Hampden in the League Cup followed by a trip to St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup.
Can Celtic stop Michael Beale from winning the treble?
No, looks like our season is over with
Yes, the next few weeks will be hilarious
Ice cream and jelly. Is on the menu.
Everything he says should be taken with a pinch of salt, KAA the snake.
Winnera? Wankers surely?
