Michael Beale’s overriding feeling on Sunday morning won’t be disappointment at losing Saturday's Old Firm derby.
It will be one of frustration. Because he’ll know that was an opportunity lost for his team against Celtic. That’s the best I’ve seen Rangers play against Ange Postecoglou’s side under Michael, certainly off the ball. They put them under pressure yesterday and had a really disciplined, compact shape. At times defensively, they still dropped a bit too deep. You could see the manager urging them to get up the pitch. They had to be brave and for most of the game, they were.
Michael’s system forced Celtic into errors and trying to play over the top. So there were a lot of positives in that respect. And that discipline was there pretty much for the full 90 minutes. This Celtic team under Ange have usually had it all their own way. Think of the League Cup Final, where Celtic had real control.
