Michael Beale makes the trip north to Aberdeen hoping Rangers’ run-in doesn’t head south as he gears up for a massive seven days.
The Ibrox side face an in-form Dons who have won six on the bounce under new boss Barry Robson but the Reds will be without skipper Graeme Shinnie after his sending off for a challenge in last week’s win over Ross County. Huge controversy surrounded that red card - given after a VAR check - with an extra game slapped on his ban due to the “frivolous” nature of the club’s appeal.
Beale addressed that in his Pittodrie pre-match press conference, expressing sympathy for Aberdeen. He also spoke about his trip to Rome after sharing images in the Italian capital on his Instagram page as he confirmed it was strictly business with Rangers closing in on signing targets as he builds up to the big one on Sunday week and that Scottish Cup semi-final showdown against Celtic that could salvage their season. Here is every word of the Englishman’s presser.
