In a recent media outburst, former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson did not hold back as he blasted Chris Sutton for allegedly spreading a false message during a live television broadcast. Ferguson expressed his frustration, saying he “wouldn’t be surprised” by Sutton’s behavior, claiming it has become a pattern that many viewers now take as fact. According to Ferguson, Sutton’s comments were misleading and damaging, creating a false perception that Ferguson says people have wrongly come to believe.
Ferguson pointed out that being in the media spotlight comes with responsibility, and that spreading inaccurate or inflammatory claims—especially during live coverage—can have serious consequences. He emphasized how these kinds of remarks not only distort the truth but also influence public opinion unfairly. Ferguson feels that Sutton uses his media platform to push biased narratives, particularly when it comes to discussions surrounding Rangers and their former players.
The former midfielder made it clear that he is tired of having to constantly defend himself against these misleading portrayals. His sharp response highlights the ongoing tension between former players turned pundits, particularly in the heated environment of Scottish football. Ferguson called for more accountability in football media, urging pundits to focus on facts rather than personal agendas.
