I'm all for Rangers cup final replay if they let me dig out my boots to do 2003 Celtic clash over again – Chris Sutton

There's been some hysterical reaction to Sunday’s Premier Sport Cup Final with some people even saying the match should be replayed.

I’d be all for it. In fact, perhaps I should dig out my boots and we can have another go at the 2003 Celtic v Rangers League Cup Final. Remember John Hartson’s goal that was ruled out for offside when he was about 25 yards onside and Rangers went on to win the trophy? Let’s do that again. In fact, if we are going to replay finals for refereeing mistakes, we might as well have another bash at just about every final in history.

That’s how daft an idea it is. Rangers won’t take much comfort from Willie Collum coming-out and admitting the VAR officials made a mess of the controversial penalty call. But what they can’t do is use this incident as some sort of deflection tactic from yet another defeat to Celtic – and yet another trophy that has escaped their grasp. It might have been a penalty but it could have been missed and Celtic might have come back again. It’s all ifs, buts and maybes.

It was the same in 2003. We had opportunities to score after the offside call but didn’t take them. That’s the way it goes. The way Rangers have reacted since Sunday just smacks to me of how far expectation levels have fallen at Ibrox – and the losers mentality that is still around the club.

There’s been a narrative that they were robbed at Hampden and they played really well. Excuse me, didn’t they concede three goals? And against a Celtic team that wasn’t really firing on all cylinders?

Are we handing out more moral trophies again because Rangers didn’t get pumped? This isn’t the Ibrox club I came up against. They are using the big decision as a crutch, when in reality they finished second best to Celtic
