I like Michael Beale. Mainly because the Rangers boss speaks a lot of sense, normally. But at the weekend I’m afraid it was utter NONSENSE spilling out his mouth when he claimed Aberdeen were “the third best team in the country at the moment”.
That’s the biggest crock of s*** I’ve heard all season. And there’s been quite of a lot of it flung around to be fair! Sorry but Beale is absolutely taking the Michael with that comment. It’s outrageous. Hearts finished third by a country mile last season and are currently back there - six points clear of the Dons - ahead of tomorrow’s meeting of the sides at Tynecastle.
Which, by the way, has now just got that bit more tasty. Beale’s blooper might have been an innocent mistake and barely registered with Rangers fans. But believe me it won’t have been missed in Gorgie. In fact the Gers gaffer might just have done Robbie Neilson a wee favour with his inadvertent slip of the tongue in what is a huge week for the Jam Tarts.
