Rangers: Michael Beale concedes chances of catching Celtic are ‘low’ | Football News

Michael Beale admits the chances of Rangers winning the league this season are low due to the “outstanding” form of Celtic.

Rangers are undefeated in 13 games since Beale took charge, with their 2-2 draw with Celtic in January the only dropped points of his tenure.

But, despite that impressive run of form, they have been unable to close the nine point gap on Ange Postecoglou’s side, with the current champions on a run of 18 league games unbeaten.

Ahead of the trip to Livingston on Saturday, Beale was asked to assess his side’s title chances.

“If you looked at probability, the probability is low because the games are running out and there are only so many games left,” he said.

“We are in very good form. Celtic are in very good form and their form has run longer than ours so you would say it is outstanding form.

“What I would say is momentum can change things in football so all we have to do is keep doing our job and hope the momentum changes.

“If it doesn’t, we still have to win games for Rangers and build our team stronger for the cup competitions and what has to come.

“We cannot take a foot off it, that’s why I was a little bit annoyed at the weekend’s performance.”
