Beale close to finalising Rangers move

Mick Beale is close to finalising an agreement to become Rangers boss, with an announcement expected as early as Monday.

The 42-year-old has arrived at the club's training ground to complete his move from QPR after being granted permission to hold talks.

It is understood Beale - who has maintained good relations with the club since his departure as coach last November - will be joined by coaches Damian Matthew, Harry Watling and Neil Banfield at Ibrox.

Paul Hall will take training at QPR while the club continue their search for Beale's replacement.

Beale was a part of Steven Gerrard's backroom team when Rangers won their 55th top-flight title in 2021 before leaving for Aston Villa.

He then made his move to become boss at QPR less than six weeks ago and turned down an approach from Wolves last month, citing "integrity and loyalty" as the reason for rejecting the Premier League job.
