JUST NOW : Chris Sutton blanks Celtic underdog tag but Rangers scenario elicits confession over…….
Just now In response to Robbie Savage’s question on Celtic being underdogs in the upcoming Old Firm rivalry, Chris Sutton declined to comment. However, the Rangers scenario elicited a confession.
He did, however, admit that Brendan Rodgers’ team cannot afford to lose this match. The champions move across the city with a one-point advantage at the top of the Premiership, despite Rangers having a game in hand over Dundee. Three points for the Hoops in Givan next Sunday will require the Gers to beat the Dark Blues AND leave Parkhead with maximum points after the split, assuming no unforeseen hitches from the holders.
But a home win would send the Light Blues back to the summit, with the chance to increase the gap to five at Dens Park. That would need their rivals needing favours even with a home derby victory. On the BBC 606 phone in, caller Frank tagged Rodgers’ troops as underdogs for the crunch title clash, although Sutton didn’t go that far despite Savage’s attempts to draw him on his former club’s chances.
