Chris Sutton has had a pop at Rangers after Sky Sports issued a clarification about an incident in their 3-1 loss against Celtic.
The Light Blues succumbed to a consecutive defeat at Celtic Park on Sunday despite taking the lead through Mikey Moore.
With that result, Rangers are confirmed to finish third in the Premiership, while the Hoops have moved within one point of table-toppers Hearts.
Will Rangers re-sign Mikey Moore for the 2026/27 season?

Chris Sutton calls Rangers ‘desperate’ amid rage over red card controversy
Danny Rohl and Co. believe they were hard done by after the officials chose not to punish Alistair Johnston for a challenge on Moore.
The Celtic man got the ball first, but took out the Tottenham loanee with the follow-through of what was a studs-up challenge.
Michael Stewart is among those who cannot believe Johnston was not given his marching orders for the tackle, but Chris Sutton has dismissed those arguments as just clamour.
He took to social media to aim a dig at the Ibrox outfit after Sky Sports confirmed that all angles of the challenge were available to VAR before they made their decision.
In Sutton’s view, the anger over the decision not to send Johnston off in the Old Firm derby is a sign of Rangers being ‘desperate’.
He wrote via X: “Much ado about nothing. The desperate have to get enraged about something.”

Who do you see replacing him?
Danny Rohl must take responsibility for Rangers’ collapse
Rangers have gone from firm title contenders to finishing in third place in the space of two weeks, and that is nothing but embarrassing.
The team’s training camp in Spain ahead of the split appears to have had a terrible effect on the players, who have left much to be desired in the last three fixtures.
Therefore, it is no surprise that the fans are increasingly concerned about Rohl and his ability to lead the team forward.
It remains to be seen if the club hierarchy feel the same about the former Sheffield Wednesday manager.
Rohl is a good tactician, but managing a club of Rangers’ size and history requires a whole different calibre, and as things stand, the German has not shown that.
