Outspoken pundit Chris Sutton has continued to wind up Rangers supporters and a former player ahead of today’s Scottish Cup final with a cheeky tweet.

The former Celtic striker, who now works for numerous media outlets, took aim at Rangers fans and also former Ibrox midfielder Kevin Thomson, who earlier this week claimed that had Rangers defeated Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League final, it would have surpassed Celtic’s achievement of winning the European Cup in 1967. Rangers ended up losing the final on penalties.

Rangers have the chance to get their hands on silverware this season by defeating Hearts at Hampden this afternoon and Sutton posted a message on Twitter on the morning of the game.

"Good luck to both teams in the Scottish Cup Final today,” he wrote on the social media platform.

"If Rangers win it will surpass Celtic's 1967 team as the greatest achievement ever in the world..."
