Chris Sutton slams Gerrard’s treatment of Katic

During the match, Rangers defender Katic’s mistake led to Callum Hendry’s opening goal and Gerrard was seen calling for Edmundson to warm up before a potential substitution. However, he decided to stick with the 23-year-old Croatian in the end.

After the game, Gerrard said that he did not follow through with an early substitution as it could ruin the player’s morale for a long time.

Despite having Katic’s back during the game, the Rangers boss made it clear that his defence let him down during his post-match presser.

Sutton believes that his blatantly obvious comments could hurt Katic’s morale.
