Michael Beale rues Rangers 'poor' lost goals as Celtic draw shows boss key squad improvement

Michael Beale believes if Rangers had won the Old Firm derby it would have been a fair result as he rued the goals his side lost.

It was a back-and-forth affair at Ibrox when Daizen Maeda's early strike for Celtic sealed a nightmare start for Beale's men before a second-half turnaround completed in the space of just five minutes brought the derby to life. First, Ryan Kent fired an unstoppable effort past Joe Hart before captain James Tavernier sealed his 100th career goal from the spot after Fashion Sakala won a penalty.

It looked like Beale was heading for a huge triumph over Ange Postecoglou's men before Kyogo levelled with just two minutes to play to end the thrilling derby in a statement. The Englishman admits his team let in 'poor' goals but said the ability for Rangers to compete evenly with the Hoops showed him the improvement he needed to see in Glasgow.
