Beale promises summer of change at Rangers

 

Rangers manager Michael Beale is targeting a summer of change as he seeks "massive-impact" players to help narrow the gap to Celtic.

Rangers' League Cup final defeat to their Old Firm rivals was Beale's first loss since taking charge at Ibrox in December, and they trail Ange Postecoglou's side by nine points in the league

That leaves the Scottish Cup as Beale's only real hope of winning silverware in his first season as boss.

Ahead of the visit of second-bottom Kilmarnock in the league on Saturday, Beale said the defeat by Celtic was a "huge disappointment" as he looked to the future.

"In the summer, we are at a point of change. We know we have two more derbies before the end of the season and we are focused on a better showing in these games. We also expect a potential third match in the Scottish Cup," he said.

"We have a number of games left to play, the team has made steady progress but not outstanding. We have to keep moving forward, the summer window is very important for the football club

"I want to build a strong team. It is my job to take the emotion out of the match and then make decisions on who we want to stick around as we move and build forward. When the window reopens, there is going to be change.
