Michael Beale, right, spent three years at Ibrox as part of Steven Gerrard's coaching staff
Rangers hope to finalise an agreement to bring Queens Park Rangers manager Michael Beale back to Ibrox as Giovanni van Bronckhorst's successor.
The 42-year-old spent three years in Glasgow under Steven Gerrard and could be announced as the club's new boss within the next 24 hours.
Beale took over at QPR in the summer with his side currently seventh in the Championship.
Van Bronckhorst, who was in the job for just 12 months, was sacked last week.
The Dutchman was relieved of his duties after his Rangers team fell nine points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership title race.
The Ibrox side also recorded the Champions League's worst-ever group stage campaign, despite making it to last season's Europa League final.
Under Gerrard, Rangers halted Celtic's bid for 10 league titles in a row in 2021, with Beale also joining the former Liverpool captain on his move to Aston Villa three months into the following campaign.
