Michael Beale’s first Rangers misstep sees him going back on his transfer vow
27.02.2023 - 12:51 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Despite the injury doubts in the week leading up to the Viaplay Cup Final, Michael Beale reverted to what he knew for his team selection.
The Rangers boss picked the same starting XI that played out a 2-2 draw with Celtic at Ibrox back in January, a game they should and would have won but for a late Kyogo equaliser. The Japanese star also had the final say at Hampden on Sunday, but he’d put the game beyond Beale’s men before they could land a blow this time. His double saw the Hoops retain the trophy they won last year and sent Beale back to the drawing board.
Malik Tillman’s involvement was far from certain after missing the win over Livingston the week before. John Lundstram’s even more so, having not featured since limping off after 11 minutes against Ross County three weeks ago. Both started, with the latter being pitched in from the start alongside Glen Kamara in midfield.
It didn’t work. Both struggled to make any sort of impact, and the decision to start both of them was further scrutinised after new signing Nicolas Raskin was introduced on 65 minutes, along with fellow January recruit Todd Cantwell.
Beale's insistence during the transfer window was that he was only interested in signing starters; players who would come in and improve the starting XI rather than simply beef up his squad. Why then, for the biggest game of Rangers’ season so far and his managerial career, were both left kicking their heels on the sizable Hampden bench?
Tillman’s selection over Cantwell was perhaps more understandable. The American has walked the walk while others have talked in recent weeks, and the feeling was that if he was fit enough to get on the pitch, he’d start. That proved to be the case and with Cantwell still getting up to

The Bella Twins Are Leaving WWE, and They’re Going Back to Calling Themselves ‘The Garcia Twins’
Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor After 16 years with WWE, the sisters professionally known as the Bella Twins announced that they are leaving the wrestling entertainment company — and that they are going back to their real names, Brie and Nikki Garcia. “Today we are officially from here on out the Garcia Twins, Brie and Nikki Garcia,” Nikki said Tuesday in the new episode of their SiriusXM show, which is now called “The Nikki & Brie Show.” The twin sisters signed with WWE in 2007 and made their debut that year as The Bella Twins. WWE declined to comment. In the episode, Nikki acknowledged that dropping the Bella Twins identities was a difficult decision but that the sisters felt it was time to move on to focus on a “new chapter” as moms, entrepreneurs, podcast hosts and executive producers. She also noted that they will be turning 40 later this year (their birthday is Nov. 21). When their WWE contract came up for renewal, according to Nikki, they “just knew it was time to head into this next chapter,” per People, which first reported the news.
