Chris Sutton has taken Ally McCoist to task over his claim that there will be an asterisk placed against Celtic’s 2019/20 Premiership title win.
The former Ibrox boss made the claim on TalkSPORT with most media outlets relaying the message.
Had the season been cut short at the new year there is no chance that Celtic could have been declared as champions with a two point advantage after 20 matches.
On Monday the hoops were confirmed as champions based on average points after building up a 13 point lead over the course of 30 matches.
Anyone outside of the Glasgow bubble wouldn’t have an issue with that decision, speaking to the Daily Record Sutton ridiculed McCoist’s argument and suggested that he looks inside Ibrox at another season of failure:
I think Ally’s been on the Bucky, hasn’t he? I don’t know what he’s talking about. He just doesn’t want to admit it, that Celtic have been the better team.
I saw one of his quotes from Tuesday morning, he said: ‘Could Rangers have caught up with Celtic? Absolutely’. I mean, what planet is he on? Really?
People talk about asterisks, but there should be question marks – and this is what Rangers fans should be thinking – over what the hell happened in Dubai?
There should be exclamation marks about Alfredo Morelos, the shape he was in after the winter break. Don’t worry about asterisks.
Coming back from the winter break Celtic held a two point lead but despite a tougher run of fixtures they stretched the gap to 13 points over 10 matches.
When the league was called Celtic had played two away matches at Motherwell, Aberdeen and Livingston, the only top six side that Steven Gerrard’s side had played twice was St Johnstone.
