Pundit slams 'excuse-making' Zungu and says Rangers loanee no better than Duffy at Celtic

Pundit slams 'excuse-making' Zungu and says Rangers loanee no better than Duffy at Celtic

Frank McAvennie

Celtic and West Ham legend Frank McAvennie joined the Football Insider stable in June 2020 and has not disappointed with his own brand of unique punditry. He loves talking football almost as much as he loved scoring goals, and still has close links in the dressing room at Parkhead.

Bongani Zungu's loan spell at Rangers is comparable to Shane Duffy's catastrophic loan spell at Celtic, according to Frank McAvennie. 

The former Hoops hitman, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, claimed the South Africa international never looked good enough for Rangers.

When asked if it was unlikely Rangers would sign Zungu, Steven Gerrard told the Daily Record, "I think that would be fair to say, yes."

Earlier this year, Zungu was confirmed as one of the 'party five', a group of Gers players who broke lockdown rules to attend a party.

McAvennie claims Zungu will be blaming everyone but himself when he explains why Rangers didn't choose to sign him.

"He never looked good enough," McAvennie told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.

"He barely got a game. It's one of them, he came in, he didn't do it. Just like Duffy at Celtic. 

"He's just got to get on with it now. Go back to your club and start again. 

"He'll go back and make all these excuses, 'it wasn't my fault it was someone else's fault'. 

"That's what those loan players do. Just go and do it when you're on loan so you end up staying. It makes no sense to me."

Zungu has only made one league start this season and has failed to score or assist in any competition.

He made 20 total appearances during his brief spell at Ibrox.
