Raging Simon Jordan tears Rangers apart as pundit loses rag at 'hypocrisy' behind angry Dundee statement

Simon Jordan blew a gasket over Rangers' scathing statement - branding the club's behaviour 'ridiculous and hypocritical.'

Gers hit out at Dundee for their second postponement of the Dens Park clash between the sides on Wednesday due to a waterlogged pitch. The furious Ibrox side hit out at 'negligence' and unprofessionalism and demanded firm action from the SPFL after the game was rearranged once again to Wednesday April 17. But radio pundit and former Crystal Palace owner Jordan simply wasn't having it - telling Gers to get their own house in order first.

Jim White read out the statement on talkSPORT's breakfast show and an outraged Jordan let rip in an astonishing rant. First taking aim at the ongoing fan lockout with Celtic, which is due to come to an end next season, he said: "This is a club that can't get its act together to let fans in against their biggest rivals. They are probably breaching SPFL rules themselves by not allowing away fans for their biggest rivals. So there's an irony behind that, I'm not sure why Rangers have felt the need to go so robust. They may be playing to the gallery of their fans but it's a bit ridiculous and hypocritical.

"I don't know why they're being holier-than-thou. It sounds remarkably pompous and condescending. They don't have their own house in order. If you're going to stand there and start preaching to people, even if you've got validity in what you're saying, when you're pointing at other people, four fingers point back at you. Because Rangers don't cover themselves in glory. They could have played this game last week but it didn't suit them.

"I like Rangers and I want them to win the league. But I don't understand why they had to be so vitriolic. They are standing on the mountain looking down on everybody else as if they are someone really meaningful. They are a significant club but it's very high-handed and slightly unnecessary. There's probably a reason other clubs don't like the Old Firm, and this is probably it."

White then offered some Rangers fans' opinions on the matter but an deterred Jordan continued, calling out the 'conspiracy theories' peddled by punters in the aftermath. He said: "What's the conspiracy theory then? What is behind this? Why didn't Dundee want it played? Is there something we're missing in this conversation? Why are Rangers fans and supporters suggesting this is some form of conclusion? Are they not going to play Rangers now? Of course they're going to play them.

"If the pitch is waterlogged, the club could maybe do better. Yes, agreed. But maybe they just don't have the money or the means.

"If I was Dundee, this is what I would say. 'That's wonderful, but I don't give a monkey's what you think. I will be judged by the SPFL, not you. Who are you? You can't get your own house in order. You can't even have fans coming from your rivals because you can't behave yourselves. You get into line.'

"It wasn't so long ago that we were watching these clubs argue about the sponsorship of the league because it compromised the owner of the football club who had car garages. Let's have it right!

"If you're going to get on your high horse and go all guns blazing at another club, you need to be perfect. I admire Rangers, I have an affection for them, and I want them to win the league. But just a moment."
