Hearts midfielder Andy Halliday isn't having it from Rangers fans who have had a go at Michael Beale for his handling of Malik Tillman's controversial goal against Partick Thistle.
Because Tynecastle playmaker reckons he was simply protecting his own player from the storm that would have followed if he HADN'T given Partick Thistle a goal back. Beale ordered his team to let the Jags equalise in the Scottish Cup tie at Ibrox after Tillman had taken the ball from Kevin Holt as he went to return the ball to Rangers and scoring.
Boos rang out from some home fans but Beale said after the game he was "upholding the standards" of the Ibrox club by chalking off the goal. Fans then fired back as a banner was unveiled at Livingston for their following game which read “Two trophies in 11 years - uphold the standards that matter” but Beale has stood by his decision.
