Michael Beale fires back at Rangers mentality snipers as he points to European joy for Celtic derby inspiration

Michael Beale has hit back at the 'cheap' shots aimed at the mentality of his Rangers side as he backed his team to spring an Old Firm surprise.
The new Ibrox gaffer will get his first taste of derby action as a boss when Gers welcome Ange Postecoglou’s side for the New Year's showdown at Ibrox on Monday.

But Beale admits results against their rivals have to improve. The Londoner was part of Steven Gerrard’s backroom team which won six out of seven derbies before the former England legend was lured south by Aston Villa.
He’s now back in charge of a squad that’s beaten Celtic just once in their last five attempts: “The challenge is
