Chris Sutton’s Brutal Five-Word Jibe at Barry Ferguson as Celtic March Toward Title
Tensions flared in Scottish football punditry circles this week after Chris Sutton delivered a scathing five-word remark aimed at Barry Ferguson, as Celtic edge ever closer to securing the Premiership title. The former Celtic striker didn’t hold back, responding to Ferguson’s recent criticism of the Hoops with a curt and cutting: *“You’re raging, calm down Barry.”
Ferguson, a Rangers legend, had expressed his frustration over Celtic’s perceived media treatment and favorable narrative during a heated discussion on Scottish football. But Sutton, never one to shy away from controversy, fired back with his trademark sarcasm and sharp wit, reducing the exchange to a headline-grabbing mic-drop moment.
The jibe came amid rising tension as the title race enters its final stretch. Celtic’s commanding position at the top of the table has left Rangers playing catch-up, much to the dismay of their former captain. Ferguson’s impassioned comments hinted at a broader frustration within the Rangers camp as their city rivals edge closer to glory once again.
Sutton’s dig, while brief, has gone viral among fans, with many Celtic supporters latching onto the quote as a symbol of their dominance. The five-word quip encapsulated the rivalry’s intensity and reignited debates across social media and sports shows.
With just weeks remaining in the season, Celtic look poised to lift another league title under Brendan Rodgers, while Rangers face mounting pressure and scrutiny. Sutton, an outspoken figure in the media, has continually backed the Hoops and used every opportunity to wind up his former Old Firm rivals.
As the title nears its climax, the war of words off the pitch is proving nearly as fierce as the battle on it.
