He also made reference to a tweet by Tavernier, where the Ibrox captain said “Glasgow is blue” after the win, a sentiment Sutton described as “guff”.
Writing in his column for the Daily Record, he said: “Rangers are celebrating like they’ve won the World Cup when the reality is they have won sod all.
“Last weekend’s victory against Celtic was the equivalent of a consolation goal yet we’ve seen all this nonsense about Glasgow being blue.
“It’s embarrassing. I would be ashamed to hear that guff if I was part of a squad that failed to win the league and got bundled out of both cups.
“Rangers won six games on the bounce when it didn’t matter and it was hardly a Herculean feat overcoming a Celtic side that was already over the line in the league and with precious little left in the tank.
“I’ve never seen second place and no trophies celebrated in Glasgow.”
