The Incredible Reaction of Chris Sutton to Philippe Clement’s Sacking

Rangers fans arrived at Ibrox with the expectation of reducing Celtic’s formidable 13-point lead to 10, but they instead left with the disparity unabated and Celtic’s goal difference bolstered by an additional goal.

The Celtic icon and Sky Sports pundit, who took to social media platform X to remark on the situation, further exacerbated the misery for Rangers supporters. “After Aberdeen’s defeat on October 30, Kris Boyd and I expressed our belief that it was time for Big Phil to retire.

However, the Rangers board did not heed our advice.” He appeared to be a respectable individual; however, he was unable to comprehend the requirements of the Glasgow football scene. Brendan Rodgers bids farewell to another Rangers manager… Brendan Rodgers’ extraordinary record against Rangers managers continues to expand.

Rodgers has now succeeded six distinct Ibrox managers during his two tenures as Celtic’s manager, following Clement’s departure. His control over the blue side of Glasgow is becoming a recurring theme, adding another chapter to the managerial merry-go-round at Rangers. Celtic continues to maintain a strong grip on the division, despite the occasional dropped points.

Celtic maintain their stability under Rodgers’ stewardship as Rangers endeavour to reset once more. The Hoops will attempt to solidify their position and make a drive, as a title challenge appears to be beyond their opponents’ reach.
