Glasgow Rangers’ emphatic victory at Ibrox prompted the pundit to include two Gers stars in his Team of the Week.
Chris Sutton has announced his Scottish Premiership Team of the Week on Twitter, and has included Rangers pair Lassana Coulibaly and Ryan Kent in the lineup as well as one Celtic star.
It was a good weekend for Steven Gerrard’s men following their defeat to the Hoops in their final game before the international break. The Light Blues stormed to a 4-0 victory with Coulibaly and Kent giving Rangers a 2-0 lead inside 14 minutes.
James Tavernier and Glenn Middleton would complete the scoring, but it was Coulibaly and Kent who made it into Sutton’s Team of the Week. Coulibaly’s return in particular, appears to be a massive boost for Rangers ahead of their Europa League group-stage opener with Villarreal later this week.
Meanwhile, Celtic endured a slightly more frustrating evening last time out as they could only draw 0-0 away at St Mirren on Friday. Brendan Rodgers’ men played much of the game with only 10 men after Olivier Ntcham was sent off for the Hoops.
It was a disappointing result for the Bhoys and allowed Hearts to open up a five point gap at the top of the table, but Scott Brown’s impressive form continued.
It was vital that Brown stepped up following Ntcham’s dismissal, and Sutton has included the Celtic skipper in his team, meaning that three of the five midfielders come from the Old Firm.
