Michael Beale handed Rangers defence for Partick Thistle decision as he would have been 'vilified'

Celtic hero Kenny Dalglish has insisted Michael Beale did the "right thing" when he allowed Partick Thistle to score during Rangers Scottish Cup clash last weekend.

Beale's decision has divided the Ibrox fanbase and the wider football world over his call to allow the Jags to make it 2-2 moments after Malik Tillman's goal had left the visitors fuming because of a huge misunderstanding. Ex-Celtic striker Chris Sutton has opened up a feud with Beale over their differing viewpoints, but Dalglish is very much in the camp of the Rangers manager.

It comes after Light Blues supporters unveiled a banner at Livingston on Saturday which underlined only two trophies won since 2011 amid Beale's "standards" claim in the wake of the incident against Partick.
