Chris Sutton wasn’t going to miss the open goal presented by Liverpool’s 7-1 rout at Ibrox on Wednesday night.
Last season Ally McCoist and others were pushing the idea that Giovanni van Bronckhorst was some sort of tactical wizard with a game plan suited to getting the better of continental opposition.
That smugness carried into this season’s qualifiers with an aggregate win over PSV Eindhoven adding to the delusion.
Now a goal difference of 1-16 before travelling to face free-scoring Napoli has shown last season up as the freak run that many suspected. Except McCoist.
“Sevvvvveeeennnnnnnnn!”
As you’d expect, @chris_sutton73 won’t allow Wednesday’s result to be swept under the carpet.

Stumbling through his analysis from Ibrox on Wednesday night the former Sevco boss was harking back to getting beaten by Peterhead and Annan a decade ago.
