Michael Beale sends Rangers players blunt future warning as he vents 'you can't turn up 30 minutes into a cup final'

Michael Beale says it's either shape up or ship out after Rangers suffered Hampden heartbreak against Celtic in the League Cup.

Kyogo's double put the holders into a commanding position and Alfredo Morelos' strike proved to mean little to the end result. Beale took over as boss in the winter and has won almost all of his games in charge, but the two he hasn't have both come in painful fashion against Ange Postecoglou's Premiership champions, a 2-2 draw at Ibrox and now this loss.

Speaking to Sportsound, the Rangers manager was asked about previous quotes indicating he was unsure 'who is staying or who's not' with some big calls to be made between now and the end of the season, and he sent a firm warning to his men. He said: "For players in contract and out of contract. These are the days you are judged on here at Rangers. These are the days I will be judged on as a manager and it's important we provide for the fans. If not, other people come and have a go don't they? I don't want to go overboard on it, I think since I've come in we've done some really good things, but you learn a lot today."
