FOR the aspiring boardroom member, attending the prestigious Champions League group-stage draw must be the equivalent of competing in the celebrated competition for the players. All those years of corporate, number-crunching, HR-appeasing, memo-drafting preparation have led to this point as they slip inside the Grimaldi Forum event centre in Monaco to the rippling applause of the air conditioning system in full flow.
If Rangers and manager Michael Beale are to be judged on winning games, then August was a difficult month. Call it the luck of the draw, but eight games across three competitions is a tough ask for any manager. For Beale, four wins, two draws and two defeats in the course of the month does not exactly spell out a sterling start. So now that September has begun, this weekend’s first derby of the season against Premiership champions Celtic offers little respite.
