Michael Beale branded Rangers bin man as Hotline warns his collection of transfer rubbish will get him the sack

The Champions League dream turned into a nightmare for Rangers in Holland on Wednesday night.

Now Ibrox boss Michael Beale is facing up to the painful reality of intense pressure ahead of Sunday’s Old Firm showdown. Tam Williamson, Lanarkshire, said: “Before the game Michael Beale told his players ‘prove to me you belong in the Champions League’. What a joke! The Rangers defence couldn't keep pigeons out of a loft. PSV are about the same standard as a middle of the table SPL side and could have scored 10 but for some fine saves from Jack Butland.”

Jim Rankin, Belfast, said: “Beale is out of his depth and hasn't a clue in what he is doing. He has brought in players of rubbish quality who are not good enough to wear the Rangers jersey.

Alan Flett emailed: “If we lose to Celtic on Sunday, Beale has to go. His summer transfer dealings have been abysmal. Butland apart, the players he’s brought in have made the team weaker and if Luis Palma turns out to be a good player it will rub more salt into the wounds, given that we’ve been linked with him all summer but he’s ended up at Celtic.”

William Hayes, Renfrew, said: “You have to wonder how long Beale can sustain picking Tavernier.

Celtic may have a few issues of their own but are still a dangerous animal, especially if Rangers play as badly.”

Drew Ferguson, Oban, said: “The result against PSV
