Former Celtic star Charlie Nicholas is adamant Michael Beale is bang on the money over his claims Ange Postecoglou is a lucky man.
But the 61-year-old insists the Rangers boss would love to copy his rival across the city when it comes to spending in the transfer market. Nicholas believes Beale should know all about the chance to splash the cash after spending three-and-a-half years next to Steven Gerrard with deals such as the £7m permanent arrival of Ryan Kent.
And Nicholas believes Postecoglou was also destined to be backed by the Parkhead board in the wake of the doomed pursuit of 10-In-A-Row. Speaking in his Express column, Nicholas said: "Michael Beale is spot on about Ange Postecoglou but the thing is the Rangers boss would also love to be bang on the money. Beale has said Ange Postecoglou is a good manager but he has spent a lot of money. I think it is a fair point but I would also say that Steven Gerrard did exactly the same, when Beale was under him, albeit maybe on a lesser scale but over a longer timescale.
