Michael Beale has been sacked as Rangers manager after slipping seven points behind Celtic after seven games of the season.
Michael Beale has been sacked as Rangers manager after Saturday's home defeat by Aberdeen left them seven points behind Celtic after seven games of the Scottish Premiership season.
Although his side won their opening Europa League group-stage game against Real Betis, and have reached the semi-final of the Viaplay Cup, league defeats by Kilmarnock, Celtic and Aberdeen have proved costly. "The Rangers board would like to put on record their thanks to Michael and his staff for their efforts since joining the club last November."When asked about his future after the 3-1 defeat by Aberdeen at Ibrox, Beale conceded to BBC Scotland that the "horrible result" had mounted further pressure on his shoulders.
Beale - whose recruitment has also be heavily criticised - vowed "to make it up to" a disgruntled fanbase, but he will now not get that chance.
