Michael Beale will use Rangers’ home cinch Premiership game against Aberdeen on Sunday to think about next season but also knows results remain crucial.
The Gers last realistic chance of winning silverware in this campaign ended last weekend with their Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to champions-elect Celtic, who will retain the title and stay on course for a domestic treble with a win over Hearts at Tynecastle on Sunday.
Beale, who took over from Giovanni van Bronckhorst in November, will make changes for the visit of the in-form Dons as he takes the chance at the end of a first trophyless season in three to prepare for the future. However, the former QPR boss knows there will be an expectant Ibrox crowd looking to be placated.
