XChris Sutton, never one to shy away from controversy, has once again set social media ablaze with his scathing remarks directed at the Rangers fanbase. The former Celtic striker, known for his outspoken views and sharp criticism, made comments that have divided opinions across Scottish football, with many fans furious and others applauding his blunt honesty.
The outspoken pundit appeared on a post-match discussion where he was asked about the recent uproar among Rangers supporters following another underwhelming performance. Instead of holding back, Sutton went straight for the fans, accusing them of being too noisy and overly dramatic in their reactions to setbacks. His comments, especially the phrase “All they do is make noise”, were perceived by many as a direct insult to the passionate Rangers faithful who have stood by the club through years of ups and downs.
Sutton went on to emphasize that “real clubs” are built and proven in difficult moments, not during times of comfort. “It’s in moments like these that you see what a real club is made of,” he said, implying that Rangers supporters were too quick to turn on their own team and lacked the patience to stand firm in adversity. This statement hit a nerve, particularly with those who felt he was questioning the loyalty of a fanbase renowned for its devotion and resilience.
Almost immediately, social media exploded with reactions. Rangers fans flooded X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and fan forums to call out Sutton for what they described as “disrespectful” and “provocative” remarks. Some accused him of having a long-standing bias against Rangers due to his history with Celtic, while others labeled him a “professional wind-up merchant” who thrives on stirring controversy just to stay relevant in the media.
One fan wrote, “He’s obsessed with us — can’t go a day without mentioning Rangers. We live rent-free in his head.” Another posted, “He has no idea what it means to support this club through thick and thin. The noise he’s talking about is passion.” The backlash grew so intense that Sutton’s name began trending across football discussion platforms within hours of his comments.
However, amid the outrage, there were also those who sided with Sutton’s perspective. A section of neutral fans and even a few Rangers supporters admitted that some of the criticism within their fanbase had gone too far in recent weeks. “He’s harsh, but he’s not entirely wrong,” one supporter admitted. “There’s been a lot of negativity and finger-pointing lately. Maybe we all need to take a step back and remember what supporting a club really means.”
Football analysts also joined the conversation, debating whether Sutton’s comments were fair or purely inflammatory. Some pundits defended his right to speak candidly, suggesting that his words reflected a deeper truth about the growing impatience among modern fans. Others argued that Sutton crossed the line by generalizing an entire fanbase and disrespecting their loyalty.
Rangers’ internal struggles this season have only intensified the conversation. With inconsistent performances and increasing pressure on the manager and players, emotions have been running high among supporters. Sutton’s remarks, therefore, came at a time when tensions were already at their peak, turning his comments into a lightning rod for frustration.
Media outlets across Scotland picked up the story, replaying the segment repeatedly as fans continued to trade opinions online. Some journalists pointed out that Sutton has made similar statements before — often targeting Rangers — and that this latest outburst fits his pattern of blunt punditry. “He knows exactly what he’s doing,” one columnist wrote. “Every time he talks about Rangers, it becomes a headline. But whether you like him or not, he brings energy and debate to Scottish football.”
By the end of the day, the discussion had grown beyond just Sutton’s remarks. It turned into a larger conversation about fan culture, loyalty, and the expectations placed on clubs under pressure. Was Sutton simply being honest about what he sees as overreaction from fans, or was he intentionally trying to provoke? Opinions remain split.
Despite the uproar, Sutton has not issued any clarification or apology, staying firm on his words — something he’s known for throughout his media career. For him, it seems controversy is just part of the job, and his latest comments have once again placed him at the center of football’s most talked-about debates.
Regardless of where one stands, one thing is clear — Chris Sutton has managed to do what he always does best: get everyone talking. His latest jab at the Rangers supporters has reignited one of Scottish football’s most heated rivalries, proving that even a few words from him are enough to set the entire fanbase on fire.
And as the dust settles, fans continue to debate whether his remarks were a dose of hard truth — or just another example of Sutton doing what he does best: making noise of his own.
