Ally McCoist insists John Kennedy should focus on Celtic after blasting the Rangers Covid Five rule-breach appeal.
The interim boss took aim at his Ibrox counterpart Steven Gerrard for defending Nathan Patterson and calling for leniency due to his Scotland squad chances.
Kennedy was also fuming after the appeal against the six-game bans handed out will now be heard after next weekend’s derby Scottish Cup showdown.
However, Rangers icon McCoist has called for Kennedy to steer clear of commenting on the rule-breakers - just like Gerrard did with Parkhead left-back Boli Bolingoli.
He told BT's Scottish Football Extra: "With the greatest of respect to John, it's not John's business really.
"I mean did you hear Steven Gerrard getting involved in Bolingoli's antics when he was flying all over western Europe? I mean Steven never got involved in that, what's that all about?
"Concern yourself with your own affairs and things that can affect you, and things that you can control."
When pushed by fellow pundit Chris Sutton on why Patterson should be treated differently, McCoist pointed to incidents eight Aberdeen players near the start of the campaign and Bolingoli once again.
He continued: "Steven didn't comment on the Aberdeen 14, or Bolingoli, he just got on with it."
