Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are a mess at the moment.
Chris Sutton has told The Scotsman that Rangers chairman Dave King has not done enough and questioned the timing of last week’s statement regarding Graeme Murty.
Rangers are a club in disarray at the moment after losing 4-0 to Celtic in a Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park on Sunday, with senior players Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller since being suspended by the club for their tirades at Murty after the defeat.
The 43-year-old manager looks very unlikely to stay on at Ibrox beyond this season, though King effectively confirmed that Murty was not being considered for the permanent role anyway, after releasing a statement on the managerial situation last week.
Murty was given the job on a short-term basis after King and his Rangers colleagues at board level tried and failed to sign a long-term successor to Pedro Caixinha, despite having close to two months to do so.
And Sutton believes that the South African businessman deserves a big slice of the blame for the situation that the Gers find themselves in.
“I didn’t understand the point of the statement from Dave King last week. Okay, it was about selling season tickets, but couldn’t it have waited until after the game?” he told The Scotsman.
“I don’t think Dave King has done anywhere near enough as chairman. There has been a lot of talk from Rangers as a whole in the last season or two but they don’t back it up with anything on the pitch.”
