Outspoken pundit Chris Sutton didn’t hold back in his scathing assessment of Rangers following their lackluster draw with Dundee United, labeling their performance as “pathetic” while Celtic continued to assert their dominance in the Scottish Premiership. However, his counterpart Robbie Savage made an attempt to come to the defense of Rangers’ manager Philippe Clement, emphasizing Dundee United’s solid standing in the league as he commended the visiting team’s performance at Ibrox.
The draw marked the end of Rangers’ flawless home record in the league, with disappointed fans voicing their frustration through boos that resonated throughout the stands. Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers’ unbeaten Celtic side further widened the gap between themselves and Rangers to 11 points with a commanding victory over Hearts, establishing a three-point lead over Aberdeen in the process.
Sutton highlighted the substantial difference in points between Rangers and Celtic, questioning the dedication of Rangers’ supporters and subtly hinting that it might be time for a change in leadership. On the other hand, Savage argued that Dundee United’s respectable position in the league should not be discounted in the evaluation of Rangers’ performance.
Despite Savage’s attempt to provide a different perspective and defend Rangers, it was evident that the draw against Dundee United did not meet the high expectations set by the team’s passionate fan base. The disappointment was palpable among fans who were hoping for a more convincing display from their side in the heated race for position in the league.
