Were Rangers right to sack Michael Beale and where did it all go wrong for axed boss? Monday Jury

Keith Jackson: The reality is there was no way back for Beale after Saturday. He lost the fans and the dressing room. It was only going to end one way.

DAVID: Celtic are first up in the Champions League and I
