Martin O'Neill says Michael Beale needs to land cup blow on Celtic after Chris Sutton war of words

Martin O'Neill believes Rangers boss Michael Beale needs to lay down a marker by guiding Rangers to victory in Sunday’s ViaPlay Cup final at Hampden Park.

The former Celtic and Republic of Ireland boss also told Beale that it’s “too bad” he finds Chris Sutton irritating after the Rangers manager became embroiled in a war of words with the ex-Celtic striker and hard-hitting pundit.

Despite winning 13 matches and drawing one – a 2-2 against Celtic at Ibrox – since taking over the hot seat at Ibrox, Beale has been unable to make a dent in the Hoops’ nine-point lead at the top of the cinch Premiership with the reigning champions looking likely to retain their crown.
