MICHAEL BEALE admits that his Rangers side must be quick out of the traps at Ibrox this afternoon as the Englishman prepares for his first Old Firm derby as manager of the Govan club.
Celtic currently boast a nine-point lead in the race for the cinch Premiership and victory in Glasgow’s south side today would leave their rivals’ title hopes dangling by a thread.
Having previously experienced derby day in Glasgow as a key member of Steven Gerrard’s backroom team when the Liverpool great was in charge of the club, Beale is perfectly aware of the challenges that await this lunchtime – and he hopes his knowledge of past encounters will prove useful once the game gets under way.
