Hugh Keevins has warned Micky Beale that he is in death row following yet another defeat in the Glasgow Derby.

The rookie boss lost three times to Celtic last season but wriggled away from the full fall out by promising that it would be different next season while pointing the blame at Giovanni van Bronckhorst- a man that beat PSV Eindhoven, reached a European final and won a domestic trophy in 366 days in charge.

Beale looks highly unlikely to reach that landmark never mind match those achievements with only his contract and the troubled Ibrox finances keeping him in a very well paid job.

Most weeks Keevins speculates over the impact of Celtic losing their next match but today he turned his attention across the city as the clock ticks towards the defeat that will see Beale hounded out of a job.

In the Daily Record he writes:

Beale is, temporarily or otherwise, on Death Row. Rangers have had to publicly deny interest in another manager, Kevin Muscat of Yokohama. Kemar Roofe went on social media to provide pictorial evidence to prove he was robbed of a goal – and was lambasted online by Rangers’ supporters for doing so. And the club wrote to the SFA to query VAR and all its works. A meltdown by any other name.

The upshot is Beale the manager is now alternatively known as The Accused, held to account for bad signings, incorrect team selections and substitutions, as well as unfathomable tactics.

Michael gave a lengthy interview prior to last Sunday’s game that makes even more interesting reading with the benefit of hindsight. He said that, one day, he’d like to watch the Old Firm game as a punter and not a manager.

Now he’ll need to be careful in case he gets his wish before the end of the season.

Beale also referenced the pressure that gaffers come under when he said: “It’s important that you don’t follow too much of the stuff that’s out there, like people’s opinions.”

Good luck with that one. I spent two hours on the radio after the derby, and two more on Monday evening, listening to people offering their opinion on the manager.

After Saturday’s trip to St Johnstone Beale faces four successive home matches, in the current circumstances the fixture list hasn’t done him any favours.

      What an absolute tosser,cannot believe how Arrogant Keevins is,he hasn’t got the balls or courage to have a go at the Huns.no wonder both sets of fans have no time for him Unfortunately he seems he will continue to get away with same shite different day

      No but it’ll be a very very smelly one Keith Given The Diareeha that spews outta his body when talking on Clyde Superscoreboard…

      When I have a dose of the trots from time to time, ma bog is a no-go exclusion zone for around an hour after I’ve dumped and vacated it, so goodness only knows what stink he leaves in that studio with the crap that comes out of the deranged old man –

      My sister is a care home manager – and it’s a care home he belongs, but he’s far from the only one in the Scottish Football Media for sure that should be in a building like that !

  • Captain Swing says:

    Four home games?!! I’m sure he’ll get a rousing and supportive reception from all those jolly, happy-go-lucky bears….they get behind their team win, lose or draw!

  • Bob (original) says:

    Keevins’ weekly, off-the-cuff, 10 minute effort is only worth reading to gauge what

    Ibrox wants the bears to believe. Keevins has survived in the SMSM longer than

    anyone else by being loyally obedient – and taking the ‘succulent lamb’.

    But one sentence from his output today deserves a rack of lamb all by itself,

    for its shameless level of appeasement:

    “Celtic and Rangers supporters measure success by using one metric –

    how well have they done against the other lot.”

    Yes, that’s right Keevins – who needs titles and Trebles…?! 🙂

  • Tony B says:

    Didn’t auld Spew predict Beale’s Galacticos would win the league this season, or did he forget?

    NURSH! Ma nappy needs changed!

  • the maister says:

    Keevins promoting the myth of the
    “Old Firm”.
    He knows that it keeps him in a job!

  • Davie says:

    Don’t give Keevin’s any thought, Guys a complete dumpling, he writes complete nonsence, he must sit up all night thinking up crap to print.
    Don’t click any of his comments & he will lose his job through no clicks.

    Thankfully I have nothing whatsoever to do with Scottish media and the scum cheerleaders within it.
    Fair play to all of our bloggers who put themselves through such torture with reading such shite been put into print, and having to highlight such shite for just how bad it is, certainly not for me anyway.
    So the scum have a massive problem with the moleman wanting to be fed to starving revolting bears?
    Long may that meal be served up for us tims, as becoming more tasty the longer it’s left sitting on the table.
    Yet why isn’t the obvious problems not been addressed?
    Where is the money going to come from to pay off the moleman?
    And who in their right mind would want to come in, and try and sort someone’s else’s mess out, without fund’s available, and a changing room that possibly remains in chaos behind the scenes of the shitty walls of the stinking scum club.
    So no real easy solutions, I believe can be found, especially with watchful eyes from uefa upon the scum.
    This interesting soap opera that the scum like to provide us all with, still has a good number of episodes to run yet, and should make for great viewing for ourselves.
    Meanwhile we can focus upon our football with trying to fry far bigger fish than the tiddlers the scum provides us with

    If even Keevins is joining the pile in and writing this sort of dog whistle stuff, to whip up the “Beale Out!” brigade, then he must be doing it under instruction from the Blue Room at the top of the fabled marble staircase. This happens every time they want someone sacked, but can’t afford to pay them off. They then try to force them to “do walking away” by putting unbearable fan and media pressure on them. Only I can’t recall it ever working. Even true blue, real rainjurzz man, Fat Swally, hung in there for his pay off. Mickey Beale must stay!!
