Chris Sutton: Mark Warburton wore '˜dunces hat' prior to exit
The former Celtic striker was reacting to the news that Warburton, along with assistant David Weir and Head of Recruitment Frank McParland, had left Rangers after allegedly having his resignation accepted by the Ibrox board.

Not content with that, Sutton then posted a full one-minute video where he talked to the camera about Warburton’s exit from the Ladbrokes Premiership club, saying the head coach had worn a “dunces hat” rather than a magic one in the weeks leading up to this announcement.
In the video called ‘NO MORE MAGIC RANDOM HAT’, Sutton said: “The job was too big for him. No surprises for me, it’s been a disastrous season. It hasn’t been a magic hat in recent weeks, it has been a dunces hat. Some of the things coming out of his mouth - ‘if Celtic win four fewer games and Rangers win one, they’ll only be a ten point gap’. Mark Warburton has lost the plot.
“He’s not been helped by Dave King’s lack of investment, which was promised. He’s not been helped by his assistant manager David Weir, who knows the Glasgow environment.
