Michael Beale made it four wins on the spin as Rangers boss as he set himself up for his derby day of reckoning. The Light Blues gaffer kept up his perfect start as they cruised to victory over Motherwell at rain-lashed Ibrox.
But now it’s time for the big one for Beale’s biggest test as champions Celtic head across the city for the January 2 showdown. Confidence has at least been restored and another three goals will certainly help the mood for the Old Firm derby showdown.
However, there is a major injury concern with Alfredo Morelos limping off with just over 20 minutes left after getting back to something of his best. The Colombian headed the opener and set up Malik Tillman for the third against the Steelmen after Connor Goldson’s first goal since March. It was a fifth of the season for Morelos and 117th for the club and in this type of form there is no doubt Beale will want him available against the Hoops.
