Michael Beale swerves Celtic focus as Rangers boss issues Livingston pledge to build Viaplay Cup 'momentum'

Michael Beale insists he won’t be keeping any of his key men in reserve for Hampden as the Rangers boss vowed to send out his strongest team at Livingston.

The Londoner’s side head to the Tony Macaroni Arena today as the Ibrox faithful cast an eye towards next Sunday's Viaplay Cup final clash with Celtic. It could be a tricky selection for Beale, who has injury worries in midfield with John Lundstram, Nico Raskin and Ryan Jack all nursing knocks, while defensive linchpin Connor Goldson is also a doubt.

But Beale has dismissed the notion could rest his main men against Livi to keep them fresh as they go in search of this season’s first piece of domestic silverware. He said: “I don’t want to think about the game after this game, only Saturday’s game. I’m not a coach who does that. I only think about the game in front of you because you can’t pick a team for a week’s time - that doesn’t work.
