Michael Beale responds to Rangers 'standards' banner as boss 'understands' pointed cup final message

Rangers fans sent a clear message to Michael Beale and his squad ahead of next weekend's cup final with Celtic.

And that was to end the horror stat that only two trophies have been brought back to Ibrox in the past eleven years amid a decade of dominance from rivals Celtic.
