MICHAEL BEALE marked his competitive bow as Rangers manager with a 3-2 victory over Hibernian at Ibrox. Rangers are now six points adrift of Celtic in the Premiership ahead of their return to action away to Aberdeen this weekend.
A Ryan Porteous header and quickfire response from Kevin Nisbet saw Hibernian twice lead as they netted either side of a Fashion Sakala effort. After the break, Ryan Jack and Alfredo Morelos converted from close range as Beale’s side completed a stirring comeback.
Rangers announced earlier in the day that Leon King and Ianis Hagi had both signed new long-term deals to commit themselves to the club. And the first three points of Beale’s tenure gave supporters more reasons to be cheerful.
