Beale claimed there was 'no way' Celtic would have won the title in Ange Postecoglou's first season had he and Steven Gerrard stayed the course.
A 2021 clip from Michael Beale has re-emerged on social media - and his claim that there's 'no way' Celtic would have pipped him and Steven Gerrard to the title hasn't aged especially well.
He says he isn't sure what the future holds and faces an uphill battle from here. It comes just ten months on from his appointment, which came following Gio van Bronckhorst's sacking. Speaking shortly before the Dutchman's dismissal though, Beale said in an interview that he and Gerrard - who led Rangers to title 55 in 2020 and left for Aston Villa in November the following season - would have done what Gio couldn't and beat Postecoglou to the post.
He said: "We always had maximum support from the board. I always felt they wanted to deliver more than they could. After we had won 55, the next thing is kick on, recruit again.
