Chris Sutton disagrees with statement from Rangers chairman.
The summer is a time for optimism and bold statements from clubs setting out their plans for the season ahead.
Rangers are no different, as they reset and plan ahead for 2019/20, aiming to wrestle the title from Celtic’s grasp.
Chairman Dave King is feeling positive, telling the Daily Record how proud he is of Rangers’ ticket sales.
More than 45,000 season tickets have been sold by Rangers already.
He added: “Let’s continue to do the right things and project Rangers as the country’s premier club and again, thank you for your wonderful support.”
His comments about Rangers being the premier club in Scotland predictably ruffled a few feathers, with ex-Celtic striker Chris Sutton rising to the bait.
Rangers are trying to win their 55th league title this season, and deny Celtic a record equalling ninth in a row.
Manager Steven Gerrard sticking around offers the club continuity for the first time in two summers. Rangers hope that will make a positive difference.
