Chris Sutton and Neil Lennon in Rangers rethink as security concerns force BT Sport change with former Celtic duo off punditry

[Sir Sasa Papac]

Did they actually expect two despised Celtic players to be broadcasting and analysing the Celtic game from that big platform at the side of the stand while our fans were all arriving? Complete pish, no way was that ever the plan

 

[Helanders Beard]

Well that's as clear as mud.

A David Graham classic

 

[lovenkrands72]

Reads as though we have told them they aren't using our stadium to host a different games build up and analysis to me.

 

[macaloon9]

Rangers don't talk to the Record.

BT are saying it.

 

[Yosser]

Everyone is welcome…except goat molesters and tramps.

Wouldn't mention the goat.

 

[Bear out west]

Need somewhere to watch the game lads? You can come over to my house and knock my door.
You can then watch hell freeze over from that vantage point

 

[Leif Erikson]

Well that's as clear as mud.

What are they supposed to say? "Sutton is a cunt"? The fact they've done it is enough for me.

 

[Kingging]

The game will be on in the Louden. I'm sure they'll be welcome and Lemon can even get a free pie at half time

 

[Buffalobluebear]

Isn’t “Everyone, Anyone” a fan oriented initiative aimed at making sure all our fans no matter their background are welcomed at Ibrox?

Sorry I’m going to need proof that Chris Sutton is in fact a Rangers fan. Or does he think we’re all as stupid as he clearly is

 

[DorsetLoyal]

What do you take from the phrase "security concerns"?

Given Lennon’s alleged links to republican paramilitaries through dodgy property deals, I’d suggest it could mean anything.

 

[Koist-El]

Absolute madness that it was even considered

 

[ndr429j]

Are bt sport doing the scottish teams in a cheap way studio's at Ibrox and Parkhead. do they cover all the english teams in studio's at there stadiums or do they not have studios of there own?

 

[Southsideblueblood]

What are they supposed to say? "Sutton is a cunt"? The fact they've done it is enough for me.

They blamed it on the fans saying it's a security issue. If your happy with that fine, personally I'm fucking sick of our board hiding behind the fans. Our PR is run by rank amateurs.

Hi Chris.

 

[top_cat]

A pair of rodents. So, I’m glad we’ve told them to F off.

 

[GimmeShelter]

I repeat, our current PR dept are not fit for purpose, wtf is this saying!

We are a shambles off the park at moment, run about wanting to take everyone on

Any updates on the legal action we were taking against folk back at end of last season, another thing we banged on about but have clearly done nothing about…

I can't disagree with this unfortunately

 

[Luca Stroppi]

What is it with TV media? I mean why those 2 c@nts? As a Rangers fan I don’t need to have pundits who are necessarily ex Gers players or people who might be considered Rangers friendly but what I absolutely hate is having certain pundits and commentators covering our games that want you to get beat and that is definitely the case with these two.

 

[Kentbear]

Who thought that was a good idea in the first place?

This 100%

 

[55beatsall]

They really hate the Everyone Anyone campaign.

 

[Timardim]

Why are you posting a story from the Record?

So we the people who don't buy it , can read the story. ?

 

[Mr Han]

Just seen Stan on the panel tonight, lad is looking good glad to see his health issues have left him. The two mentioned on this threads title though can go do one. Do not want them anywhere near our stadium unless its for public humiliation.

 

[AlohaBear]

They had to put up fences to protect Lennon and the team, less than a year ago.

Amazing how quickly they play the victim!

 

[Whitehorse]

Why the %^*& were they even assigned it in the first place?

Exactly why on earth would we even welcome two guys that only want to piss on everything we are.

 

[macaloon9]

im not going to continue to argue the point

Because you realise your point about it just being a DR claim being nonsense?

It’s not about the DR. BT are running with it. Referring to conversations with Robertson.

I’m all for ignoring the record but it’s not about them

 

[No Money No Problems]

Where's this BT Sport statement?

 

[Leif Erikson]

They blamed it on the fans saying it's a security issue. If your happy with that fine, personally I'm fucking sick of our board hiding behind the fans. Our PR is run by rank amateurs.

Maybe I missed something but wasn't it only the aforementioned cunt Sutton who said this?

Exactly. If Sutton is lying, then the club need to be clear that he is lying, not put out some vague nonsense.

 

[Turrabear]

Pathetic from the club IMO . Completely the wrong message that our fans can’t be trust

 

[Turrabear]

Has the club actually said it is for security reasons or is it the record and bt who are saying this.

 

[Turrabear]

A David Graham classic

Have rangers came and said its for security reasons.

 

[Sir Sasa Papac]

Has the club actually said it is for security reasons or is it the record and bt who are saying this.

Regardless what rangers public reasoning is you can guarantee Lennon and Sutton in an outside Ibrox broadcast would have been subject to songs which would have closed our stadium without a doubt. A sensible preventative move

 

[Corkinator]

What are you talking about?

Im not comparing anyone to anyone else. That was how BT have worked the games for years?

The way I read it was you were saying is because McCoist does it at the chamber of secrets it’s ok for those 2 bigots to do it at Ibrox.

 

[Turrabear]

They blamed it on the fans saying it's a security issue. If your happy with that fine, personally I'm fucking sick of our board hiding behind the fans. Our PR is run by rank amateurs.

Have rangers actually said this mate.

 

[AriseSirWalter]

Apologies if covered, but does anyone know if this is part of a new strategy to fight back the media that have been taking unanswered potshots at our club for years?

I'm sure sutton and hartson were in Ibrox previously (though may be mistaken) for EL nights when cel'ic were away.

There's not an increased security risk now compared to last season or two, so what's changed?

I'm happy that they wont be in but hopeful it's part of a larger fight back rather than just this in isolation.

It's good to know that this has clearly irritated him

 

[Baloo72]

Can we get the daily record to phuck please
What will it take to have them permanently band from here

 

[Grimsdale]

Another poor decision from the club's board. If you want to say 'no Celtic people in our stadium' then fine, go with that.
To suggest 'security reasons' makes it look like our fans can't be trusted and Sutton and Lennon wouldn't be able to enter or leave the stadium safely.
People complain about negative PR but when our board and communications director continually %^*& it up are we really surprised?

Sure you saw the youtube clip of Sutton on about the people's front of Judea reference and wee Lennon sitting pishing himself both mocking Rangers when we were down. Well changed days. Dress it up how you like but these two phuckin clowns should never be allowed back in.

 

[Jase]

Also, if there's any "inappropriate" singing you can lay money on it now being highlighted and replayed.

Control of that is in our own hands (or mouths).

 

[instantkarma]

We don’t like Mutton with Lemon

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

Rangers have taken too much crap for too long.

Refusing Ibrox entry to all these clowns should be par for the course now.

Press, Pundits, Pr!cks - you shall not pass!

 

[Braeside58]

Good decision by our club.

 

[Bada-Bing]

Difficult to think of another pair I could despise more. GIFUY scumbags.

 

[Munchkin888]

Well done rangers.they cant handle when we fight back a bit, sutton and lennon have done nothing but try to wind up our support for years.

 

[blue diesel]

Fare would be right outside reporting all the bad word that that might be said to them.. nothing surer. Well done Rangers.

 

[CaptainHolt]

I have absolutely no issue with them not being allowed in, doesn't bother me in the slightest. But Rangers letting the narrative of it being a security issue continue pisses me off. Throwing the fans under the bus yet again.

 

[Alf Garnet]

It’s definitely security reasons because if Lennon was to escape and run onto the grass god knows how much he would graze wae they green nashers of his.

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Good news pair of uneducated cretins who should never be commentating on football Hartsons another who cannot string two words together.

 

[Alf Garnet]

Fare would be right outside reporting all the bad word that that might be said to them.. nothing surer. Well done Rangers.

Your spot on my man spot on

 

[The Predator]

This is wonderful news.

Well done Rangers.

No scum at Ibrox
