Chris Sutton has given Steven Gerrard's debut managerial season four of ten.

The pundit was speaking on BT Sport's Saturday Sav show when he was asked about the Rangers manager.

Gerrard's team are currently eight points behind Celtic in the Premiership table, having been eliminated from the League Cup and Scottish Cup.

Host Robbie Savage asked Sutton to rate Gerrard's season out of ten, to which Sutton replied: "Wow, honestly? Honestly? Four".

As Savage reacted with astonishment, Sutton explained: "He's at a big club. He doesn't manage a mediocre Premier League English team. It's about winning trophies and they're not going to win any."


Speaking in his Record Sport column today, Sutton addressed Gerrard's comment that he was "too angry" to speak to his players after Tuesday night's 2-0 defeat at Ibrox against Aberdeen. The former Celtic striker said: "Maybe the better option would have been to get stuck into a group of players he has trusted and shown faith in, telling them what a bunch of bottle merchants they were once again when it really mattered.

"This is Gerrard’s team. I’m not so sure Walter Smith would have let his players away with such a poor display when the heat was on."
