Celtic and the huge Rangers contrast that shows Michael Beale where he must improve to claim Premiership glory

It's been an incredible start to Michael Beale's Rangers career, nobody can take that away from him - though as the Englishman said himself on Wednesday, there is still a long way to go at Ibrox.

Beale came in for Giovanni van Bronckhorst after the Dutchman's poor run of form across the October and November months saw him booted from the Ibrox hotseat during the World Cup, with Beale - who had previously turned down the manager's job at Premier League side Wolves - returning to Ibrox after 12 months away.

Since entering the dugout as boss, he's won 10 of his 11 matches for the Light Blues in all competitions; with only Celtic spoiling the perfect record with Kyogo's late equaliser at Ibrox. But, whilst there is clear progress being made in Govan, Beale is still picking up the pieces from van Bronckhorst's shortcomings that leaves them nine points adrift in the title race - which he must fix in the summer window.
