Michael Beale says you'll be able to look him up and down and know whether or not he's happy with Rangers' summer window
The Ibrox rebuild is underway and so far, with Jack Butland the third confirmed transfer after Kieran Dowell and Dujon Sterling. More will be on the way and Beale is looking forward to shaping the Rangers squad in his mould for a crack at wrestling the Premiership title from Celtic, having started by signing Todd Cantwell and Nicolas Raskin in January.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the Londoner insists it will be pretty easy to tell if he is happy with business completed, with forward areas and experience sought after. He said: "We start how we're ending with our style being very clear, our energy being very strong on the pitch in terms of our pressing and the bits out of possession. Make sure that we're really hard to beat then allow our quality to come through.
"We'll look to recruit a spine that's enabled to stay at Rangers for the next three to five years to build on. You've seen the start of that with Nico Raskin and Todd Cantwell coming in and Kieran Dowell. We'll look to add to that with a little bit of experience but certainly in terms of quality in the final third.
"You'll be able to tell by my face at the start of pre-season whether I've been successful in getting everyone that I want. But either way we'll come back into pre-season next year with a few new ideas that I've wanted to implement.
"We need to go and recruit a certain type of player for that. We'll come back stronger. Our league form in the last 24 games would say if we can get to that stage where we are now, we'll be in the mix.
"It'll be about getting to the March international break where we need to be and then going for it. We've won a lot of games but in the real key moments we've tended to shoot ourselves in the foot.
"That will be in the forefront of my mind going for the recruitment this summer. It's a really important summer for me, the football club, the fans and ultimately for the players in the squad as well."
