Godwin ObajeChris Sutton Issues Pointed Reminder to Rangers
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has issued a pointed reminder to Rangers despite their better head-to-head record against Celtic this season. The two Glasgow giants played out a 1-1 draw at Ibrox, with Adam Idah cancelling out Cyriel Dessers’ strike.
Sutton’s Loaded Question
Speaking on the 606 Football Phone In, Sutton posed a loaded question to fellow pundit Robbie Savage. “Here’s an incredible stat for you – Barry Ferguson hasn’t won a home game since he’s been Rangers manager,” Sutton said. “Rangers have got the better of Celtic in the league games this season. They’ve taken 7 points from them Rob. So going into the summer, do they have the bragging rights?”
Savage’s Blunt Response
Savage responded bluntly, “No, Celtic do. They’re champions.” Sutton ended the conversation, saying, “Okay. Just wanted to put that out there.”
Celtic’s Dominance
Despite Rangers’ better head-to-head record, Celtic’s dominance in the Scottish Premiership is undeniable. The Hoops are on course to win another treble under Brendan Rodgers’ leadership.
Conclusion
Sutton’s reminder highlights the difference between head-to-head records and overall dominance. While Rangers may have had the better of Celtic in their league meetings, the Hoops’ championship win speaks for itself. As the summer approaches, all eyes will be on Celtic and Rangers to see how they shape their squads for the upcoming season.
