Alious“‘Excuse Me?!’ – Gordon Duncan Left Gobsmacked as Shocking Rangers Managerial Duo Linked with Ibrox Return”
Barry Ferguson remains at the helm of Rangers for now, but it’s becoming increasingly evident that the club plans to make a permanent managerial appointment this summer. Ferguson, still in contention to keep the job long term, can highlight impressive victories over Fenerbahce and Celtic as strong arguments for his case.
Despite that, speculation has swirled around some high-profile candidates, with Jose Mourinho being among the most headline-grabbing names linked to the role. However, a recent claim on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard left presenter Gordon Duncan completely stunned.
Former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has been floated as a potential returnee to Ibrox—a move that has already divided opinion among fans. But what really raised eyebrows was the suggestion that Gerrard could bring back his former assistant, Michael Beale, to join him. This idea, proposed by Gordon Dalziel, caught Duncan entirely off-guard.
“If I’m Gerrard and I’m coming back to Rangers, I’m bringing Michael Beale with me,” said Dalziel, referencing their past collaboration. Duncan’s immediate, incredulous response: “Excuse me? Can you imagine the reaction?” Dalziel elaborated, claiming that Beale’s strengths lie in coaching rather than management, and returning to that role could make sense.
In the meantime, Rangers are in no rush to name a permanent replacement with nothing left to compete for this season. Ferguson will guide the team through the final matches, and though it hasn’t been stated publicly, he is understood to be eager to land the job permanently.
If he closes out the campaign with a winning run, he could make a serious case to stay. Still, the club’s hierarchy appears to be considering other options, and the idea of a Gerrard-Beale reunion, however polarizing, is now part of the conversation—whether fans are ready for it or not.
