Michael Beale insists Rangers fan protests against the board make things more difficult for his team on the park despite watching his side run out 4-2 winners over 10-man Motherwell in a Fir Park thriller.
The match kicked off as the travelling fans in Lanarkshire ramped up their bid to force out sporting director Ross Wilson and managing director Stewart Robertson. Beale admits he understands supporters feelings and that it was impossible not to be aware of the strength of feeling with fans holding up flyers in the away section.
Motherwell took the lead early on through Kevin van Veen before James Tavernier - with his 98th goal for the club - levelled. Fashion Sakala netted early in the second half with Todd Cantwell and Malik Tillman also getting in on the scoring act against the Steelmen, who had Callum Slattery sent off. Beale told Sky Sports after the match when asked about the protests: “It’s impossible not to be aware of it - it’s so there.
