Rangers boss Michael Beale named December manager of the month

Michael Beale has been named Scottish Premiership Manager of the Month for December.

In his first month in charge, Beale guided Rangers to four wins in four in the league over a busy festive period. 

It started with a 3-2 victory over Hibernian at Ibrox, before late drama in Aberdeen saw the Gers to a 3-2 win at Pittodrie. 

Rangers then travelled to Dingwall to take on Ross County with John Lundstram’s goal the difference in the 1-0 victory, before rounding off the month with a 3-0 win at home to Motherwell. 

Speaking as he picked up the award, Beale said: “I'm pleased to be receiving this award on behalf of the full management team. Returning to the club in late November was a big moment for me personally and I am very pleased with the start we have made as a group. 

“The players deserve a lot of credit for our results in December as it’s them who go on the pitch and play. We won four games and scored a good number of goals. We also used 20 players over the four games so that goes to show it was a real squad effort.

“We are now fully focused and looking ahead to an exciting January in the League and two cup competitions. We are determined to make a strong start to 2023.”
