Jack Butland has become the first Ibrox star to destroy the management of Micky Beale.
The former England goalkeeper was brought to Ibrox as part of the summer Revolution but after the 0-0 draw with Sparta Prague in midweek he admitted that the club needed a change.
Beale was dubbed as the Brains Behind Gerrard and a wizard of the training ground but that never came over during nine disastrous months in charge. The inspired training sessions at Murray Park couldn’t be turned into results on the pitch.
Four defeats to Celtic brought the problems to the surface with a 3-1 home defeat to Aberdeen forcing the Ibrox board into sacking the former Liverpool under-5 supremo.
Todd Cantwell was the only player to express sympathy to his former boss, speaking to his club’s TV channel on Thursday night Butland revealed the true dressing room reaction to Beale’s sacking when he was asked about the influence of Philippe Clement.

Really good, really good. I think it’s been a fresh start for everyone. Some boys needed it and I think just as a club we needed a change, which is obviously what the club felt as well and I’ve been impressed by the manager (Clement).
Knowing that he has no chance of a return to management in England, Beale is travelling to Brazil, Japan and the USA to become even better than he already is.
Beale the Speal has been turned on by the less than fringe players from previous clubs, its a bad day when the waste disposal items grab you and take you down the sink hole with them.
These same players have done nothing yet to talk about, once you are performing well consistently over a season, only then can any of them come out with a voice.
Butland will jump ship at first opportunity.
Sima is trying to sell himself.
The rest are unchanged, stub a toe and go injured to avoid any flak from the fans.
Beale made two massive mistakes.
1. Signed players no one wanted.
2. Spouted complete nonsence in public.
There is still no magrs name on the office door, it still says NEXT.
