Rangers legend Arthur Numan has warned Michael Beale it would be “unthinkable” if the Ibrox side end the season empty handed.
The Dutchman was at Hampden last Sunday to see his old side miss out on the Viaplay Cup. The Scottish Cup is now Gers’ only realistic hope of silverware this season but Numan is refusing to consider the possibility that the Light Blues might fail again. He said: “We need to keep going in the Premiership and make sure we retain the Scottish Cup.
“We are the holders and should be within our capabilities to keep it that way, any other outcome is unthinkable, so the time is now for us all to put last weekend's defeat behind us and move forward as a unit and with optimism. It was our first defeat of 2023 and we need to learn from it. We still have many talented footballers in the team and they will need the backing of the supporters more than ever on Saturday at home to Kilmarnock.
