Ferguson’s Celtic Sniping Makes His Rangers Excuses Pathetic

Phillip Cooney criticizes pundit Barry Ferguson for alleged double standards following Rangers' 2-2 draw with Dundee. Writing for Read Celtic, Cooney argues that Ferguson's Daily Record column urged patience and defended Rangers after they dropped four points behind Celtic, contrasting sharply with his blunt critique of Celtic's shortcomings after losing the Glasgow derby the previous month.

Cooney argues that Ferguson's calls to cut the manager and players slack represent an exercise in defending his former club rather than providing consistent perspective. While acknowledging Ferguson did point out Rangers' weak first half, Cooney claims the pundit offers comforting excuses for Ibrox setbacks while reserving harsher scrutiny exclusively for Celtic.
