Michael Beale is fearful his Rangers players could pull up on Wednesday after playing 120 minutes on a 'really bad' surface at Hampden.
The Rangers boss is gleeful that his side are in to their first final under his tenure after a long slog against Aberdeen saw late extra-time heroics from Kemar Roofe seal an Old Firm derby clash next month for the Viaplay Cup. Beale watched the Light Blues go through the wringer against Jim Goodwin's men but ultimately left Hampden the happier of the two coaches.
But a huge factor in the semi-final was the Hampden surface, something Ange Postecoglou and Derek McInnes had alluded to on Saturday, with the turf taking a battering from poor weather in the build up to the showpiece clashes. Roofe was just one casualty for Rangers after the game but Beale shared his fear more players could seize up after playing on the tough surface.
