Michael Beale vowed to go “hell for leather” from the first minute against Celtic as he sweats on the fitness for Alfredo Morelos for his biggest test yet as Rangers manager.
The Ibrox boss wasn’t satisfied with his side’s performance in their 3-0 win over Motherwell which continued his perfect start to life as Rangers boss. Morelos scored one and set up another for Malik Tillman with Connor Goldson also on the scoresheet but the Colombian limped off.
Beale will wait and see if the South American is available to face the Hoops on January 2 but says his side are ready to go for it against the champions. He insists he wouldn’t be happy to settle for a point as they trail the champions by nine points. The Englishman said: “The derby is a great leveller. They will come here, our fans will be buoyant after four straight wins so we should go in with confidence and need to go hell for leather from the first minute. We’d never be happy with a point in a derby.
