Michael Beale makes 'fine margins' Rangers verdict as he provides Kent and Morelos future update

Michael Beale reckons Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent will have played at Hampden for the last time in a Rangers shirt after the pair flopped in the Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Celtic.

Kent was restored into the starting XI but was subsequently hauled off at half-time for Fashion Sakala after Jota had given the Hoops the lead. And Morelos didn't offer much better as Rangers hopes of lifting silverware this season were blown away as they failed to recover from Jota's elusive opener. Beale's men created opportunities, most notably Sakala missing an open goal following a James Tavernier strike but the reality was grim for the Light Blues boss, who is firmly aware of the backlash that will now come his way in the aftermath.

Beale replaced both Kent and Morelos during the clash and he conceded that the contract rebel pair aren't in his long-term plans. When quizzed on their futures and the summer that lies ahead to build the Ibrox club back stronger for next season, he replied: "Possibly, yes. Listen, knowing when I came into the club that this was going to be a summer of change in terms of personnel, I don't want to go too far into that now after today's game. I would rather just analyse the game.
