Despite the win over St Johnstone Record Sport columnist Miller reckons Beale needs more on the European stage.
It might not feel like it for Michael Beale right now. Because, as everyone can see, he’s a Rangers manager under serious pressure.
Remember, there were no trophies during his first two years in charge. Michael was there as a coach so knows that by reaching the group stage of the Europa League and doing well, it bought the manager that time. I remember working on a radio phone-in and punters were calling in to say they didn’t care about the next Old Firm game – because there was a Europa League semi-final around the corner. When have you ever heard that before? That’s the carnage and chaos of football in Glasgow at times.
Now, I don’t claim to know Michael personally but I’ve spent a bit of time with him. He understands what it’s going to take to turn things around at Ibrox. Ultimately, the buck always stops with the manager. I get that. In this city, either the green or blue side gets it in the neck. And unfortunately for him right now, it’s the blue side. Without being close to him I sense he’s confident in his own ability.
If he can throw in four points from two Europa League games, I’d say Rangers will be in a good place going into the next break. Depending on what happens across the city, they might find themselves a bit closer to Celtic in the league – IF they take care of their own business.
