Michael Beale insists Rangers romp gives suffering supporters 'oxygen' as he claims they turned tables on Celtic

Michael Beale hopes Rangers’ suffering fans can take belief for next season from their derby stroll at Ibrox.

The Light Blues boss dedicated the 3-0 victory over Celtic to the supporters who have endured a miserable campaign. Todd Cantwell fired the Light Blues into an early opener before John Souttar nodded in a second before the break and Fashion Sakala rounded off the victory with a third for the home side. After a run of three defeats in a row against the Hoops, it was a big victory for Beale even if there was nothing more than pride at stake.

And the Englishman told Sky Sports: “I’ve got all the belief and faith but it gives the fans a lot of oxygen in the summer and something to hold on to and believe moving forward. They’ve had a tough season. I thought they were outstanding and we promise to build a stronger Rangers next year and come back and try and do them proud but that’s how I want Rangers to come across to the outside world in terms of the energy and passion on the pitch and in the stand.
