Former Rangers managers Pedro Caixinha and Mark Warburton have been replaced by Graeme Murty at Ibrox.

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has told magazine FourFourTwo that he reckons Rangers fans will agree with his views on former Ibrox managers Pedro Caixinha and Mark Warburton.

Warburton departed Rangers in February 2017, before Caixinha was sacked earlier this season with Graeme Murty now in charge of the Light Blues.

Both managers received huge criticism during their stints in charge at Ibrox, as the Gers failed to challenge Old Firm rivals Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership during their tenures.

Sutton did not hold back on his criticism of either manager during their time in the Ibrox dugout and reckons most Rangers fans would agree with him now, but claimed Gers fans would not admit to it.

“What I like about Glasgow is that people will tell you what they think. It’s not always what you want to hear but they’re forthright and upfront,” Sutton said.

“I get a bit of stick from Rangers fans, but most of them end up agreeing with me – like over Mark Warburton and Pedro Caixinha, although they’ll never admit it.”

Manager of Rangers Pedro Caixinha sent to the stands during the Betfred Cup Semi Final at Hampden Park on October 22, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Warburton gained promotion from the Scottish championship back to the top flight at the end of the 2015-16 season, before Portuguese boss Caixinha replaced him during the latter stages of the 2016-17 season.

However, neither manager failed to impress with the latter’s biggest failure likely to be Rangers’ exit from the Europa League qualifying stages against Luxembourg minnows Progres Niederkorn.

Warburton has this week been sacked by Championship side Nottingham Forest, while Caixinha remains in charge of Mexican giants Cruz Azul.
