Chris Sutton in Rangers 'different treble' dig ahead of Celtic's Ibrox visit

Chris Sutton says Rangers are on for a 'different treble' this weekend when Celtic travel to Ibrox. 

Brendan Rodgers' men are well on course to complete a domestic clean sweep of trophies this season. Their city rivals, however, are looking to do their version of a treble by beating Celtic three times in a season, Sutton has joked.

Rangers have won the previous two Glasgow derbies. Ianis Hagi, Robin Propper and Danilo scored in a 3-0 win for Rangers at New Year, before Barry Ferguson's men emerged from Parkhead in March 3-2 victors courtesy of strikes from Nicolas Raskin, Mohamed Diomande and Hamza Igamane. 

Brendan Rodgers will want to avoid Rangers securing a hat-trick of victories over his team in one campaign when he takes his men across the city this weekend. 

Ahead of the match, Sutton couldn't resist a dig at the Ibrox side. He said [The Warm-Up]: "Rangers are on for a different treble, aren’t they, to Celtic? 

"Celtic are on for the real treble, proper trophies, and Rangers could possibly beat Celtic three times this season, which would be incredible if they do, and then, what’s the gap, 17 points? Which just shows how poor a season Rangers have had."

Celtic midfielder Luke McCowan doesn't expect a guard of honour in Govan this Sunday after his team were recently crowned champions of Scotland for the fourth consecutive year: "No, not at all," he said when quizzed on the matter. 

"That is just how it is, isn't it?

"I don't know how it would be if it was on the other foot. We'll never really know, I don't think.

"We'll see what happens."
