Micky Beale’s dangerous dismissal of SPFL strikers

Michael Beale has effectively dismissed the standard of SPFL strikers outside of Glasgow.

With an out of shape Alfredo Morelos leading the line for Beale’s side and Kemar Roofe managing just four substitute appearances some fans have cast an envious eye towards Edinburgh for a fresh goal threat.

For reasons not yet known Kevin Nisbet pulled out of a move to Millwall today while Lawrence Shankland took his tally for the season to 20 with the decisive second goal in Sunday’s Scottish Cup win at Hibs.

Beale has brought in a reserve player from the English championship to boost his squad but won’t be looking across Scotland during the current transfer window.

After Kevin Nisbet’s anticipated move to Millwall was raised alongside the possibility of buying from the SPFL Beale went off on a mini lecture then dismissed the quality of strikers in the SPFL Premiership.

In terms of here at Rangers, you always ave to look and fink of the fee that is being paid for a player would e come ere and start? So if we look at our number nine position, I don’t know if there is a striker outside the best two clubs that’s better than Colak, Morelos and Kemar Roofe or Fashion Sakala.

Beale should get a close look at Shankland on Wednesday when he takes his Galacticos to Tynecastle, before that match he is likely to praise the Hearts striker, backtracking on today’s arrogance.
