Michael Beale in self-imposed Rangers 'lucky' ban as he swerves word that irked Celtic rival Ange

Michael Beale joked that he is now BANNING himself from using the word ‘lucky’ during interviews after it caused such a storm.

The Rangers boss used it to describe former dug-out rival Ange Postecoglou at the start of the year and it caused a huge backlash with the ex Celtic boss referencing it during his Scottish Premiership victory speech - SIX MONTHS after he first uttered it.

But as Beale discussed the managerial talent in the Scotland, he admitted he’s loath to use it now after it was held against him by many pundits. During a Sky Sports interview, he said: “I see different things happening in the league in terms of tactically. I’ve seen a lot of different mangers in the league as well. The managers in Scotland deserve huge credit. We’re not managers that can go out and buy readymade players. There’s only two or three managers in the league that are fortunate - I mustn’t use that word lucky - enough to go and buy players.”
