Chris Sutton in pointed Celtic reminder amid Rangers record

Chris Sutton was keen to issue a reminder that Celtic are the team with all the bragging rights in Glasgow despite their disappointing head-to-head record with Rangers this season. 

Glasgow's big two played out a 1-1 draw at Ibrox yesterday afternoon, with Adam Idah cancelling out Cyriel Dessers' strike. 

The draw means that Barry Ferguson will end his interim spell as Rangers manager unbeaten against Brendan Rodgers, who is on course to lead the Hoops to another treble. 

It also means that Rangers end the campaign with a better head-to-head record from the four Scottish Premiership fixtures this term, earning seven points.

However, speaking to fellow pundit Robbie Savage on the airwaves last night, Sutton made his feelings clear with a loaded question.

"I was at the Glasgow derby," he said on the 606 Football Phone In. "It was a 1-1 draw Rob, I don't know whether you watched the game.

"Here's another for you - Rangers have got the better of Celtic in the league games this season. They've taken 7 points from them Rob.

"So going into the summer, do they have the bragging rights?"

Savage bluntly responded: "No, Celtic do. They're champions."

Sutton ended the conversation, saying: "Okay. Just wanted to put that out there."
