Chris Sutton took a swipe at Rangers following Celtic’s triumph in the Scottish Premiership.
After a resounding 5-0 victory against Kilmarnock, Brendan Rodgers’ team secured the league title on Wednesday (15 May).
Sutton promptly aimed his barb at Rangers through a post on social media.
The former Celtic player commended Rodgers and the team, highlighting the contributions of Joe Hart, Matt O’Riley, Callum McGregor, and James Forrest, all emblematic of a winning squad.
Although Rangers supporters had no game on this particular evening, they found little solace in the result, thanks to Sutton’s subtle jibe. Even though the mention of Rangers was absent in Sutton’s message, the underlying intent was crystal clear.
This season offered optimism for the Rangers faithful, with Philippe Clement at the helm. At stretches, it seemed as though he could lead the team to their first Scottish Premiership title since 2020/2021, only for Celtic to clinch their third consecutive championship, marking a dramatic end to one of Scotland’s most riveting title races in recent memory.
While Clement’s stint at Ibrox was brief, fans eagerly anticipate what he can achieve with a full season next time around.
The Gers’ faithful bide their time to respond to Sutton’s dig, as they mark a promising road ahead.
