Michael Beale quashed claims of a clash of personalities with Ange Postecoglou as the Rangers boss insisted he has nothing but respect for his Celtic counterpart.
The Ibrox gaffer has faced accusations he’s deliberately set out to wind up his Parkhead rival with some of his public statements. The Londoner has already insisted he meant no harm when he referred to the Hoops as “the other team” during one media sit-down.
But his “lucky man” quip has been taken as a jibe aimed at Postecoglou’s Celtic Park spending power by some opposition supporters. Beale, however, is adamant his relationship with the man he’ll be squaring up to at Hampden on Sunday as both their teams scrap it out for Viaplay Cup glory is both positive and cordial.
