'I'd be really worried': Chris Sutton questions Philippe Clement's Rangers narrative

Chris Sutton thinks Rangers fans should be worried about the direction their club is going in following their 3-0 thumping from Celtic

Rangers manager Philippe Clement attempted to dress up the defeat, however the reality is that Celtic, who have dominated the Scottish football landscape over the past decade, are still ahead of their Glasgow rivals.

Discussing the latest derby clash and Rangers’ chances of a close title challenge this season on BBC 5 Live’s 606, Sutton said: “Aberdeen are off to a flier. I would be surprised if Aberdeen could keep this intensity up but I’ve got to say, Rangers were so far off it today.

“If I’m a Rangers fan, I am really worried.  

“Bearing in mind that Celtic sold their best player, Matt O’Riley, they’ve brought other players in during the window now. But they were miles off it.

“If you are a Rangers fan then you are thinking that your team has no chance.

“Philippe Clement has said ‘we will get better in October or November’. Will he get that long though? 

“He got a bit of stick when the coach travelled back to Ibrox. There’s a few Rangers fans hanging around who were not happy bears.”
