Every word Michael Beale said to Sky Sports after the 2-2 draw at Ibrox.
What did you make of the game?
The two goals for us are poor goals to give away, certainly the one earlier in the game. We actually started the game quite well and then gave away a goal. It took 10 or 15 minutes to then find ourselves again. I thought we did. I didn't really want the half-time whistle. Alfredo Morelos has two headers then Ryan Kent hits the post and you're thinking at half time we need to show a bit more belief because I didn't think there was much in the game other than that. At the start of the second half we showed that and get ourselves 2-1 up and we are in control of the game. They have not been near Allan McGregor then we have a chance to go 3-1 with Malik Tillman. We don't take it. Their second is really poor from us. We have sat deep and we had three or four chances to clear it. I'm disappointed. I saw a lot of good things today and a lot of players committed to the cause. I'd like us at times to show a bit more quality in possession. That's what was missing first half but second half we were excellent and I think if we'd won the game it would have been fair so we are a little bit disappointed.

Do you have more answers about your team now or are there still a few questions as well?
Certainly more answers. And I've just given them a few things in there that we need to do moving forward. We have certainly got more players in our squad who will come back and help the starting team. We will get fitter and stronger as we go. I think the big thing for us is we have only been back together for a few weeks and we are already at a level where we can compete even with the team that we need to compete with. Now we need to show consistency in all the other games. We're no further away than what we were four or five weeks ago, we'd like to be two points closer but there are 18 games to go and we just need to keep improving.
