da aposte e ganhe： Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has described comments made by Rangers players James Tavernier and Andy Halliday as “utterly ridiculous.”
da luck： After Rangers were promoted back to the Premiership after beating Dumbarton 1-0 last Tuesday Tavernier and Halliday believed that the current team was capable of beating any side in the top flight and should be competing for the title next season.
Writing in his column in the Daily Record, Sutton believes those aren’t realistic ambitions: “I saw Tavernier’s stuff and I think it was ill-advised.
“He should be keeping his thoughts to himself. Yes, maybe Rangers CAN beat Celtic but if you fail to deliver, you look stupid. If I were a Rangers player, I wouldn’t be getting carried away about winning the Championship.
“In fairness, I thought Warburton and David Weir weren’t getting over-excited. For them it was ‘job done’ but some of the stuff coming out of the Rangers players’ mouths was best kept in-house. Some of the comments have been utterly ridiculous. It’s the Championship, for Christ’s sake!”
Sutton believes that such comments will spur Celtic players to perform when they face their Old Firm rivals in the Scottish Cup next Sunday.
“If I’d been a Gers player on Tuesday, I wouldn’t have celebrated, he said.
“I would have regarded it as merely doing my job with no great elation. And if I were a current Celtic player, hearing Tavernier and Halliday coming out with absolute nonsense, I’d be half-laughing thinking: ‘Are you on the same planet? You’re playing in the Championship.’
But on the flip side, I’d be thinking, ‘You know what? We are going to ram those words so far down your throat.’”
Celtic go in to the cup tie after a 2-1 win victory over Motherwell moving them 8 points clear in the Scottish Premiership after Aberdeen lost 2-1 to Hearts on Friday evening.
