Michael Beale gushed over Rangers display against Real Betis - but insisted he was still under pressure at Ibrox. The Light Blues impressed in the second half of their Europa League showing as Abdallah Sima netted the decisive goal to seal the perfect start to the group stage campaign for the Scottish Premiership side.
Rangers move through the gears after an even opening period to kickstart the Euro campaign - and Beale couldn't hide his delight at full-time.
He told TNT Sports: "It was a really good opponent. First half we didn’t show enough belief with the ball, having said that the last two chances were with us.
With Rabbi and Kemar, but we spoke about that at half time. More belief, more passion and more desire. The goal typified that because the first contacts we won." He was then asked if he still felt under pressure following the result after a sluggish start to the campaign - which saw Rangers slip behind Celtic in the Scottish title race as well as crash out of the Champions League.
