Despite working at the Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United match Chris Sutton made sure that he kept upto date with events in the SPFL.
Aberdeen ‘s win away at Kilmarnock, coming from behind to win 2-1, put them six points ahead of Sevco as the Ibrox side kicked off away to Dundee.
On the back of a shaky 2-1 win over Morton Graeme Murty had a full week to put all his coaching plans and strategies into place against a side that hadn’t won a single match this year. Dundee had even managed to get knocked out of the Scottish Cup at home to St Mirren!
The match had all the ingredients for another defeat on the road with Murty’s side putting in a limp, insipid performance to be 2-0 down at half-time.
Apart from putting his name to strongly worded statements Dave King continues to keep a low profile with Sutton turning his attention on the hot air from the Ibrox boardroom.
.@btsportfootball A total mess at Rangers it’s about time Dave King got his act together! 55?! May not get 55 points at this rate??

King’s lack of interest in the company is obvious to all with the initial excitement of reaching the top division and handing out retribution to the multiple enemies of the club already in cold storage.
With 12 wins from 25 matches the remainder of the season promises to be the most painful of reality checks for the tribute act as their grip on third place comes under threat.
They may detest the messenger but deep down they know that Sutton is calling it right, only their own sense of entitlement is preventing them from listening.
