Gordon Strachan has piled praise on Rangers boss Michael Beale - but fears the Englishman might be running out of time to get one over on Celtic rival Ange Postecoglou.
Both men will go head-to-head for a fourth time at Hampden on Sunday for a place in this season’s Scottish Cup Final. But while Postecoglou is closing in on a potential treble after bagging back-to-back derby wins in the League Cup Final and a crunch top flight clash at Parkhead, Beale is still looking to record his first ever victory against the champions. And former Celtic boss Strachan knows from experience that such winless runs can’t go on forever in a ferociously unforgiving city.
Speaking in this week’s episode of our Off the Ball podcast Strachan said: “Ange’s Celtic have come out the best in the last couple of matches but Michael Beale, I can assure you right now, is convinced that he’s going to win the game of football. That’s the way you feel and I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t feel that way.
