Michael Beale to 'surprise' Celtic as Rangers urged to rectify 'not up to scratch' cup final defeat

Michael Beale could surprise a few with his team selection on Saturday as his Rangers side face champions Celtic.

The Englishman has been relatively rigid in his choices since arriving as boss and seems to have formed a cohesive unit at Ibrox, bolstered by the acquisitions of Todd Cantwell and Nicolas Raskin on top of the varied success of the signings of Gio Van Bronckhorst. But Beale must pick a side tasked with inflicting defeat on Ange Postecoglou's rampant league leaders, who haven't suffered defeat since September.

Former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson believes Beale will spring a surprise or two with personnel changes when they travel to Celtic Park with no away fans present. The pundit also insists the Viaplay Cup final defeat to Celtic - Beale's only loss to date - wasn't 'up to scratch' for his liking and a big turnaround is required this weekend.
