Michael Beale admitted Rangers need help if they’re to salvage their title hopes. But he found little favour with Hotline callers after his first pre-match conference as Ibrox manager.
Beale’s side need to overturn a nine-point gap at the top of the table if they’re to wrestle the Premiership crown back from Celtic. And the new man in charge was honest enough to admit they need a helping hand from others if they’re to chip away at the champions.
But Neil Renton, Edinburgh, said: “He’s barely been in the Rangers job a fortnight and already boss Micheal Beale is making excuses. By asking for other clubs to do them a favour, to chip away at Celtic is a laugh. He should be concentrating on his own team and worry less about others.” Meanwhile Arrin Geddes, Irvine, wasn’t impressed with Beale referring to Celtic as “the other team”. He said: “Mick Beale’s lack of class may be down to his limited experience in front of a microphone and I’m sure someone from the club who can do no wrong will have a wee word in his ear, although I’m not convinced he would be up for listening.”
