Rangers' players reported back for training today ahead of Michael Beale's imminent appointment.

The club's former first team coach is due to be confirmed as the new manager, replacing the recently departed Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

He was spotted arriving at the club's training ground this morning, with images circulating on social media of the current QPR boss driving into the club's training centre.

A short while later, the Rangers players arrived back after a two-week break during the mid-season World Cup domestic pause.

With an agreement reached between Rangers and Beale, as well as QPR, this morning, it is expected that the new man in charge will have reunited with some old faces, as well as met some of the new players in the building.

Caught on Sky Sports' cameras, the likes of Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent and Steven Davis could be seen driving through the gates of the training ground near Milngavie.

Beale left the club a little over one-year-ago to join Steven Gerrard as his assistant at Aston Villa. 

His impressive coaching CV earned him a crack at the QPR gig.

He will no leave the R's after just six-months, leaving them seventh in the Championship table.

Rangers' first game back after the winter break is on Thursday, December 15 against Hibs.

That means Beale has a little under three weeks to work with his new players and get them familiar with the way he wants them to play.
