With the search for a new manager hitting an impasse some bears have taken to assessing where Micky Beale stands among manager of their Tribute Act.

It seems that Pedro Caixinha has been the worst so far with the big question being whether the former Liverpool u-5 cone man was worse than the former Santos Laguna boss.

Beale does have a 70% win rate but that covers plenty of sore ones and the fact that he delayed a rebuild until the summer when work should have started in January rather than squeezing more out of Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent and Scott Arfield. Once he brought in his own men the Revolution! nose dived.

Four defeats to Celtic over nine months destroyed Beale, beating Ross County and St Johnstone doesn’t make up for his failures in the Glasgow Derby.

Caixinha packed plenty of highlights on and off the park with shouting at fans from a bush in Luxemburg one memorable incident as well as discussing barking dogs and caravans in media conferences.

Regular defeats to Celtic did it for Pedro, like Beale he lasted less than a year with just 26 matches required before he picked up his pay-off.

With the recent lifespan of a manager at Ibrox down around 12 months the next victim really has to ensure that there is no wriggle room in the contract when it comes to his pay off.
