'Pathetic' - Chris Sutton explodes at one Rangers player after 2-1 loss v Aberdeen

Chris Sutton blasted Rangers captain James Tavernier for his role in the build-up to Aberdeen’s second goal on Wednesday (30 October).

The Gers lost 2-1 at Pittodrie, meaning they’re now nine points behind the second-placed Dons and pressure is massively rising on manager Philippe Clement.

Tavernier was singled out for criticism in the Sky Sports studio after the game after he failed to prevent Shay Morris’ 74th-minute winner.

Speaking on Sky Sports Football (30 October, 10:17pm), Sutton shared his verdict on Tavernier’s involvement in the goal.

“It was pathetic from Tavernier, I mean, dear me,” he said.

Philippe Clement is now in deep trouble at Rangers

If the pressure on Clement’s wasn’t already mounting before their loss against the Dons, it certainly is now.

Before the game had even kicked off, there was likely too much riding on it for the Gers to handle.

As has been the case with most of their losses this season, when the going gets tough, Rangers choose to crumble.

No matter how much Clement’s men say they thrive under pressure or perform better when the stakes are high, it feels like nothing good ever comes from these sorts of situations.

Rangers now find themselves nine points adrift of their title rivals and in reality, it feels like a deficit of this size will be too much for the club to wear down.

It’ll be interesting to see whether John Gilligan sticks by his word and keeps Clement in charge after this 2-1 loss or whether this was the final straw for the Belgian’s Ibrox tenure.
