Any notions Michael Beale’s Instagram profile was ‘hacked’ were put to rest today as Rangers’ troubled manager continued to post personal and private content on his account while maintaining the changed display pic of himself in Queens Park Rangers garb rather than his unveiling photo.

Beale is under heavy pressure at the moment with his social media changes hinting at his own position doing likewise, and the understanding he met with Rangers’ board yesterday where frank exchanges of views were had and a lack of consensus was reached.

So where things stand now we cannot be sure, but we’re already starting to get fed up with this story, and clearly need some clarification officially from the club.

Even the usual ‘unofficial’ club sources like Heart & Hand etc are not clarifying any information on this, which usually means a story like this is true, but time will tell.

The best we got from them was a very vague ‘back or sack him, and the board do neither’.

Which is true, as well.

We’ll have an update on that in due course but for now, Beale isn’t helping matters by leaving his social media as reversed to his QPR days, and unfollowing the private squad group we understand that he actually created himself.

What next?
