Nikola Katic in Rangers Michael Beale confession as he delivers Celtic League Cup Final prediction

Nikola Katic believes he would still be at Rangers had Michael Beale replaced Steven Gerrard when he left for Aston Villa.

The Light Blues turned to Giovanni van Bronckhorst but after just over a year in the helm, the Dutchman was axed. He took the club to the Europa League Final and was the kick of a ball away from lifting the trophy while he also won the Scottish Cup. However, the Champions League campaign this season ending with a 'worst ever' tag while they trailed Celtic by nine points ahead of the World Cup shutdown in the title race.

Gerrard with Beale as his No2 brought Katic to the club at the start of that first Ibrox journey and he admits had he known the 42-year-old would be back as manager he would maybe have stayed on in Glasgow. Despite that he knows he made a good move to the Swiss league and it is one that could take him to a higher level again.
