Hugh reckons the fallout since the defeat to Celtic has been of epic proportions and he has the call logs to prove it.
I wrote here last Sunday that the scale of the beating suffered by the loser in the Old Firm derby at Ibrox would determine the size of the backlash that followed.
How all of that impacted on Michael Beale can only be guessed at. And yet he’s being told he must deliver immediate improvement in team performance, as well as the first trophy of the season and an upgrade in European standards, against this background of open hostility towards him. In September 2023, he’s in the dock because the people at the bar, for the most part, don’t want him in charge any more.
Celtic and Rangers supporters measure success by using one metric – how well have they done against the other lot. That’s what decides the length of a manager’s shelf like at Ibrox and Celtic Park. The game itself, if we’re being absolutely truthful, was desperately low on quality for a country’s flagship fixture.Beale is, temporarily or otherwise, on Death Row. Rangers have had to publicly deny interest in another manager, Kevin Muscat of Yokohama.
Michael gave a lengthy interview prior to last Sunday’s game that makes even more interesting reading with the benefit of hindsight. He said that, one day, he’d like to watch the Old Firm game as a punter and not a manager.Beale also referenced the pressure that gaffers come under when he said: “It’s important that you don’t follow too much of the stuff that’s out there, like people’s opinions.” Good luck with that one.
