Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers were heavily active in the previous transfer window.

Chris Sutton has criticised Glasgow Rangers duo Niko Kranjcar and Joey Barton for their initial displays in Scottish football.

Rangers brought in Kranjcar and Barton as two of their high profile additions last summer, but they have failed to impress.

The pair have been short of their best for the Ibrox side so far, and they were well off the pace as Rangers were beaten 5-1 by Celtic in their latest outing.

Sutton feels that both Barton and Kranjcar are struggling, and he also criticised Mark Warburton for being too stubborn tactically.

Rangers stormed to promotion last term, but their heavy defeat to Celtic has led to Warburton receiving some criticism.

Rangers summer recruitment drive has also been called into question, with a number of their signings failing to live up to expectations so far.

Rangers are currently four points behind Celtic in the table, and their Glasgow rivals have a game in hand.

Rangers are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Ross County.
