The gap between Rangers and Celtic remains at nine points for another week after both sides won again in midweek.
As they are seemingly fighting a losing battle, Rangers must be commended for their determination to keep going until the end.
Since Beale replaced Giovanni van Bronckhorstduring the World Cup, Rangers have dropped just two points, and they came against Celtic when Kyogo Furuhashi netted an 88th-minute equaliser for the champions.
Their other 10 matches under the stewardship of the former QPR manager have ended in 10 victories.
They enjoyed another routine victory in the week, winning 3-0 away at Hearts with Alfredo Morelosbagging a brace.
It is just a shame that Celtic have managed 16 wins in their previous 17 league games, with that Old Firm clash in early January being their only dropped points too.
Having finished in the championship group last season for the first time since 2016, the relegation group looks likely for Ross County this season.
The club from Dingwall are just one point off the bottom of the table having played a game more than the two sides below them and they have the worst attacking record in the division.
However, despite also being knocked out of the cup by Hamilton Academical who are bottom of the second tier, they are now unbeaten in three league games.

The five points they have picked up in this mini unbeaten spell may prove crucial come the end of the season, as the target for Malky Mackay’s side will be to avoid the ominous bottom two places once the league splits.
A goal direct from a corner by Yan Dhanda helped them to a 1-1 draw against Hibernian in midweek, and pieces of individual brilliance like that will be vital in picking up points.
A defeat is expected here though, given the might of Rangers compared to Ross County, so there will be no panic if they should take nothing from Ibrox – anything more will be an unbelievably welcome bonus.
