The Ibrox side’s last realistic shot at winning a trophy will be on the line next month when they take on Ange Postecoglou’s treble-chasing Celtic in the Hampden semi-final. Defeat would consign the Light Blues to a barren campaign while their bitter rivals take another huge step towards securing a fifth domestic clean sweep in the last seven years. That’s why McLeish believes this year’s Scottish Cup has taken on added significance - and he warned Beale defeat is a non-negotiable He said: “That’s what we have got left and it’s imperative. I know a few of my pals over the last few years have said they don’t bother with the cups, they just want to win the league. I get that, but this Scottish Cup is helluva important. They always have been in my eyes. It would be a real boost for the club if Michael can go on and lift it.” Read More Related Articles Steven Davis told he needs a Rangers miracle to play again this season by Northern Ireland boss Read More Related Articles Kenny Dalglish tells Rangers fans the major reason why Celtic will be champions yet again McLeish won a cup double in his first season in charge before going one better in his second. He also led Gers to one of their most cherished title wins in 2005 when they recovered a seven-point deficit to snatch the championship from Celtic on Helicopter Sunday. But with Beale’s team even worse off nine points adrift, he admits he’s not holding out much hope for a repeat. He said: “The league is going to be very difficult at this stage of the season, given the points deficit. “It kind of reminded me of my own time at the club. When I first took over the league was pretty much gone. “We had a couple of cups to win and we managed to do that. For this group of players there is a huge game ahead in the Scottish Cup.” READ NEXT Read More Related Articles 'Intense' Scotland have Spain on edge as boss Luis de la Fuente expects no Hampden walkover Read More Related Articles 3 Celtic stars add to injury pile up as Daizen Maeda headlines treatment room woe ahead of manic month Read More Related Articles The message Rangers must send to Celtic as derby dominator pinpoints the key detail needed to reignite title race Read More Related Articles John McGinn understands Celtic and Rangers Hampden pitch complaints after similar surface woes against Cyprus Read More Related Articles Steven Gerrard spots crafty Celtic fans on the Kop and tells them exactly what he thinks of them Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.
