We have to get back on it. There are areas we need to improve, but, in terms of the work ethic and the passion, I\u2019ll take that.

What is there not to enjoy?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Beale lavished praise on Davies, who was excellent in central defence.<\/p>\n<p>The Englishman was recalled for his first appearance of the season in Saturday\u2019s 2-0 win over St Johnstone.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think Ben has been very gracious and handed the goal over,\u2019 said Beale. \u2018But what about Ben? The last two performances have been outstanding.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It was a really good opponent (in Betis). First half, we didn\u2019t show enough belief with the ball, having said that the last two chances were with us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u2018We spoke about that at half time. More belief, more passion and more desire. The goal typified that because the first contacts we won.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Davies insisted he was happy to hand credit to Sima for the 67th-minute clincher after a Kemar Roofe shot was saved and both closed in to force the ball.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Let the striker take that goal and I\u2019ll have the clean sheet,\u2019 said Davies.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It was a big second half for us.\u2019 Brighton loanee Sima also put the team first, adding: \u2018The most important thing is the win.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS<\/h3>\n<p><span>Rangers<\/span>: Butland, Tavernier, Goldson, Davies, Barisic, Cifuentes (Jack 81), Lundstram, Sima (Sterling 89), Lawrence (Lammers 62), Matondo, Roofe (Dessers 89).<\/p>\n<p><span>Subs Not Used:<\/span> Souttar, Scott Wright, McCrorie, Kieran Wright, King, Devine, Lyall, McKinnon.<\/p>\n<p><span>Booked<\/span>: Goldson.<\/p>\n<p><span>Goals<\/span>: Sima 67.<\/p>\n<p><span>Real Betis<\/span>: Bravo, Bellerin, Pezzella, Bartra, Abner Vinicius, Rodriguez ,Roca, Luiz Henrique (Perez 72), Isco (Diao 88), Ezzalzouli (Sanchez 72),Iglesias (Willian Jose 72).<\/p>\n<p><span>Subs Not Used<\/span>: Miranda, Guardado, Ruibal, Vieites, Fernandez, Garcia.
