A rogue Rangers fan has been clipped ambushing a BBC Scotland report into the Ibrox club appointing Michael Beale as manager.
The euphoric supporter interrupted a live report by BBC Scotland’s Kheredine Idessane to chant “Michael Beale” repeatedly in the direction of the cameras.
The hilarious clip has since gone viral on social media and shows one Rangers fan at least sent into something of a frenzy by the appointment of Michael Beale this week.
The Gers have announced the signing of the ex-QPR manager as their 18th permanent boss after the sacking of Giovanni van Bronckhorst during the World Cup break.
Rangers fan in Michael Beale frenzy as manager talks up appointment
Beale is a former assistant of ex-Rangers manager Steven Gerrard and returns to the club one year on from leaving the Gers with the Liverpool legend when Aston Villa and the Premier League came calling.
Never slow to nail his colours to the mast, Michael Beale has been clear ever since leaving Rangers that he’d love to return as manager one day and that day has now come.
Speaking to Rangers after the appointment was made official – and as one fan in particular was giving BBC Scotland viewers something to laugh about – Michael Beale has talked up the privilege of taking charge at Ibrox.
“I am hugely proud, it is a wonderful, wonderful football club, it is an institution,” said Michael Beale [Rangers].
“For everyone that works here it is a huge privilege but to be the manager of this football club is extremely special.
“Some wonderful people have sat in this chair prior to me and I am hugely proud to be the person sitting here now.
“I am a different person, in the time that I left I have had different experiences in the Premier League and then being a manager in the Championship.
“I feel that I am more than ready and more than equipped to do the job here.I am here to win, that is the most important thing. I am here to win for this club, the fans and with these players but also to win with style and in a way that makes the fans excited.”
Meanwhile, the appointment has sent something of a shockwave through Premier League pundits.
