What do you think of the sacking of Michael Beale?

And who do you think should be the next Rangers manager?

Give us your thoughts here.

So what are Rangers fans' thoughts about Michael Beale's exit as manager?

Some suggest it was inevitable given the lack fight of fight shown by the players in some recent games, the poor signings made under the Englishman's tenure and the fact that "the league is done" thanks to falling seven points behind reigning champions Celtic so early in the season.

However, others suggest "we can't keep sacking managers".

You can have a look back at Michael Beale's final interview as Rangers manager. It came in the aftermath of that crushing 3-1 home defeat by Aberdeen on Saturday.

"We'll see what happens," the Rangers manager said to our man Kheredine Idessane post match after being asked about his future. Sadly for the 43-year-old Englishman, he didn't have long to wait.

As you would expect, Scotland's newspapers have already started speculating about who will succeed Michael Beale as Rangers manager.

So far, there doesn't appear to be much in the way of informed speculation.

It's all based on the bookmakers' odds and throwing famous names forward of those out of work - or with Ibrox connections.

Kevin Muscat, who spent the 2002-03 season as a Rangers player, is the man who most money appears to be going on. If he did head to Ibrox, he would be following the example of former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou from his post as Yokohama F Marinos head coach.

As part of Rangers' statement about sacking Michael Beale, club chairman John Bennett also commented: “I’d like to thank Michael for his dedicated work since he re-joined the club as manager last November.

“It is clear that results have fallen well short of the board’s, Michael’s and our supporters’ expectations.

“The search process for the new manager is already underway. I wish Steven Davis and the interim management team every success - they will remain in charge for as long as it takes to make the right appointment.”

Here's a reminder of the statement issued by Rangers that ended Michael Beale's 10-month reign as manager.

"Rangers Football Club can confirm it has parted company with men’s first-team manager Michael Beale," they stated.

"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.

"Results this season have fallen short of what everyone connected to Rangers would expect.

"Therefore, the decision was reached today to terminate the contract of the manager, as well as the contracts of coaches Neil Banfield, Damian Matthew, Harry Watling and Jack Ade.

"The club is pleased to announce that Steven Davis will lead the interim management team.

"The team will consist of former Rangers player and hugely experienced coach Alex Rae, former Rangers player and current coach Steven Smith, coach Brian Gilmour and goalkeeping coach Colin Stewart."

The latest update on Michael Beale's Ibrox exit is that the man himself has issued a statement of his own on Instagram.

The Englishman, who was previously assistant to Steven Gerrard at Ibrox before taking over as manager following his short stint as Queens Park Rangers boss, calls for unity behind interim manager Steven Davis.
