Rangers hero Kris Boyd feels that Antonio Colak might not be the exact type of striker new manager Michael Beale is looking for.

The former Ibrox forward thinks that the Croatian has been very impressive since joining in the summer but that the style of play the Light Blues boss will want to implement might not lend itself to the former Malmo striker's strengths.

Since arriving in Glasgow, Colak has scored 14 times for the Scottish Cup holders, but despite these statistics, Boyd feels that it is not cut and dry that the 29-year-old will be a regular starter.

"It will be interesting to see what happens," he told Sky Sports. 

"I think Antonio Colak has done really, really well. But I see him more as a striker that tries to take himself away from the ball.

“One that peels on the back of defenders. Under Steven Gerrard, with Mick Beale as a coach, the striker was pivotal to the way Rangers played, linking the play.

"So, the whole recruitment thing is going to be crucial.” 

Meanwhile, Tony Vidmar has revealed Rangers training always felt like a cup final during his time in Glasgow.

And he's urged Michael Beale to restore the ethos at Ibrox after being appointed as the 18th permanent manager of the club.

Vidmar spent five years in Glasgow from 1997 to 2002 winning two league titles and five cups in the process.

For the Australian legend it was all down to the sky-high expectation levels and feeling of "purpose" at the club that he achieved success in Scotland.

Vidmar is hopeful now that Beale can install a similar attitude and ethos at Rangers and lead the club to success.

Everyone expects the club to win every game, no matter who they’re facing," said Vidmar in an interview with The Scottish Sun.

“The expectation levels are so high, but the players and staff have to rise to the occasion.

“If you didn’t impress and work hard, you had no chance. You couldn’t go through the motions, ever.
