Michael Beale insists Rangers’ defeat to Aberdeen will act as a jolt for their Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic at Hampden as he was left to rue missed chances and a ’40 yard miskick’ by Liam Scales for the home side’s opener.
The visitors passed up some gilt-edged chances with Alfredo Morelos seeing Leighton Clarkson clear one off the line and Kelle Roos denying Fashion Sakala when he was one-on-one with the Dons keeper. Beale’s men dominated for large spells but still went down 2-0, however, he is adamant there will be no hangover against the Hoops at Hampden.
Beale said: “Next week will be a completely different game so there won’t be too much of a hangover. If anything it will be a bit of a jolt and reality to one or two. You talk before the game about how ruthless you have to be and if we’re going to win things and compete then we have to be more decisive.
