Ally McCoist responds to Chris Sutton's 'not pure invincibles' Rangers jibe

Sutton believes that their League Cup exit to St Mirren tarnishes the claim that Steven Gerrard’s men are invincible.

Rangers are just three games away from finishing the league season unbeaten, a feat which has only been achieved twice in the history of Scottish football.

However, speaking on BT’s Scottish Football Extra show, former Celtic forward Sutton was quick to interject when the Invincibles conversation was raised.

"The whole thing was an absolute shambles from start to finish."

"Once you start removing healthy and fair competition then correctly you have a massive problem."

When host Darrell Currie asked McCoist if Rangers would prioritise the Scottish Cup over an unbeaten league season, Sutton chimed in: “Either way it's not the pure invincibles because they haven't won the League Cup... so it doesn't matter."

"He's introduced the adjective 'pure' in to this invincibles thing, which is a bizarre one to me,” McCoist added.

"But I think whether Rangers go through the season as unpure invincibles, as Chris likes to call them, I don't think that matters that much.

"I think the most important thing is they go and do a Scottish Cup and league double."
