Former Celtic star Kris Commons reckons Michael Beale showed a naivety by wading into a public spat with Chris Sutton.
The Rangers boss branded the pundit "Chelsea's worst ever player" as he rounded on perceived comedy acts in the wake of his decision to allow Partick Thistle to equalise in a their madcap Scottish Cup clash. His pointed words led to a response from Record Sport columnist Sutton – who reckons the 42-year-old displayed a thin skin by hitting out. And that's a sentiment echoed by Commons who has shared his surprise over Beale's decision to wade in and he reckons he's let the himself and his club down in the process.
Speaking in his Daily Mail column, he said: "Since replacing Giovanni van Bronckhorst in late November, Beale has brought a sense of freedom back to this Rangers team and got them playing some decent football once again. They won comfortably away at Livingston on Saturday afternoon, a notoriously awkward venue due to the plastic surface. But, as for off-field matters, it's been more of a bumpy ride and some of his comments in the media have shown a real naivety. Firstly, he claimed back in January that Ange Postecoglou was a 'lucky man' due to the spending power available to the Celtic boss.
