Michael Beale insists a Rangers win would have been a fair result as he says his side have shown they can compete with the best after only being denied victory over Celtic by a late Kyogo leveller in the Ne’erday derby at Ibrox.
The Light Blues boss reckons it’s a sign of how far they’ve come in the short space of time under the Londoner that they were disappointed not to get the victory against the Hoops as they remain nine points behind their rivals.
It’s now four wins and a draw under Beale after a Ryan Kent goal and James Tavernier penalty saw them take the lead following Daizen Maeda’s early opener for the visitors. And Beale told Sky Sports: “We were excellent in the second half and it would have been fair if we’d won the game so we’re a little bit disappointed.
