Chris Sutton mocks Kenny Miller live on BT as Rangers make nightmare start v Livingston
Chris Sutton branded Rangers “boring” as he mocked Kenny Miller live on BT Sport after Livingston took the lead at Ibrox in the SPFL.
Joel Nouble slotted into the corner after just four minutes for the visitors, following good work down the left hand side from Christian Montano, as the home side made a depressingly slow start.
The Bears are badly in need of a performance with the manager and the players under pressure, and it was the exact opposite of that early, so Sutton was enjoying himself as ex-Gers striker Miller tried to sum up the current situation.
Speaking live on BT Sport Score on Saturday afternoon (22 October, 3.06pm) Miller was discussing what Rangers have been missing lately after the goal went in, saying: “Energy, there’s been a real lack of quality in their attacking play.”
Sutton couldn’t resist and knowingly cut in with: “It’s been quite boring hasn’t it recently?”
Miller replied: “Well, you know what Chris that’s a nice way to put it. Giovanni talked in his pre-match press conference. He wants to see a little bit more entertainment value into the performance as well as the result.
“But the result as we know is always the most important thing so a lot of work to be done if their going to get the three points today.”
Challenge
The Light Blues have been making hard work of things lately, whether that be thoroughly dispiriting hammerings in Europe, or narrow victories back in domestic action where they have been anything but their free-flowing best.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst joined the fans in criticising the players after the 1-0 League Cup win in midweek over Dundee (19 October).
And with Celtic coming out on top of a 4-3 goal-fest against Hearts earlier on Saturday it is vital that the Gers keep the pace at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
The Dutchman will not be happy with what he has seen so far in the first half, as it took until nearly midway through the opening 45 for his players to even play themselves into the game after going behind.
Jack Fitzwater went closer to doubling the lead after 20 minutes than the home side did to levelling, so it will need to be a massively improved performance after the half.
So far it has been pretty much exactly what the home fans would have been hoping not to see and worse, as not only are they struggling to impose their authority but they are now in line to drop crucial points.
In other Rangers news, a new low was reached this week when a European pundit added insult to injury to trash the Gers players.
