Michael Beale reckons Rangers sent their fans home happy after a day of discord at Ibrox.
The Light Blues booked their place in the Scottish Cup semi-finals with a straightforward win over Raith Rovers but it was played out against an eerie backdrop, with Ibrox largely hushed for much of the game after the Union Bears opted to stay away over a banner dispute. Beale was staying out of the row but believes the fans who did show up got what they came to see after goals from Connor Goldson and Scott Arfield either side of a Ryan Nolan OG sealed victory.
He said: “I don’t really know what’s going on there, I just felt there was a level of expectation from the crowd in the stadium today, it was a slow game and everyone was expecting us to be free-flowing like we were in midweek. But styles make games and they stayed in and made it difficult at times. They had 10 players around their 18-yard box and they were blocking little things.
