Michael Beale done 'no favours' by Neil Banfield as Rangers comments earn pundit 'barmy stuff' response

Rangers assistant manager Neil Banfield's comments are doing boss Michael Beale 'no favours' claims BBC pundit Tom English.

The Ibrox number two came out strong in his review of Beale, even claiming that some comments from Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou had left a 'little taste in the mouth' after Rangers were beaten by their rivals in the Viaplay Cup final in February. The former Arsenal coach then went on to compare Beale to some top managers in world football.

But for English the praise showered on Beale, who he admits has done well at Rangers since his arrival, is way off the mark. He believes it won't do the ex-QPR gaffer any favours when trying to match Celtic and being compared to Champions League winning managers.
