Michael Beale admits he is not shying away from a Rangers title fight and says his side can keep pace with Celtic.
The Englishman is back in Glasgow but this time in the Ibrox hot-seat after being Steven Gerrard's right-hand man through their three-plus years at Rangers. And Beale has the imminent task of rekindling a Light Blues squad that struggled for consistency in the final weeks of Giovanni Van Bronckhorst's reign.
And the former coach admits he is raring to go for the challenge of reviving Rangers, and admits his long-term ambition is to bring the Scottish Premiership back to Glasgow. Yet the new boss was not shying away from a title tussle with Celtic, and despite a nine-point deficit, he believes there is a challenge yet to come from his side.
