Chris Sutton took on both Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith on TheWarmUp as the former Celtic striker pinpointed the losing mentality at Ibrox as being the difference between theRangers and Champions Celtic…

He returned to a hotly debated subject from a few weeks ago, theRangers bench and player wildly celebrating a last minute equaliser against Aberdeen a Pittodrie when all it was doing was 99.99% guaranteeing Celtic the title, as Barry Ferguson’s side had a minus 42 goal difference on Celtic and could only match Celtic on points after two points were lost in Aberdeen.

Kris Boyd, the former Rangers striker and Steven Naismith, sacked earlier this season as Hearts manager, both tried to defend Barry Ferguson. Chris Sutton noted turned around to gesture at the Aberdeen support in a moment of triumph – as the result edged Celtic to within a whisker of a 13th title in 14 seasons, an unbroken 55th title and a grand total of 120 major honours, smashing theRangers mad claims that their clubs are somehow the most successful club in the world.

They aren’t even the most successful club in Glasgow. As Daizen Maeda said last weekend: “Glasgow is Green”.

Watch this…

Meanwhile there were a few faces missing from Celtic training at Lennoxtown today, causing some concern among the Celtic support who do not want to lost a third consecutive Glasgow Derby match against theRangers for the first time ever, dating all the way back to when the fixture began back in February 2015.

Daizen Maeda, Nicolas Kuhn and Alistair Johnston are all expected to start for Celtic on Sunday at Ibrox but until we hear otherwise from Brendan Rodgers there’s real concern. Jota too was missing after his knee injury last weekend at Tannadice, and we’ll hear today if his season is over and if so when we’ll be likely to see him return.

    Love Sutton’s wind ups. Can’t understand why Celtic supporters give a toss about a club with 1 league title, even to the extent of acknowledging the lie. The fascist ideology of repeating a lie until you believe it and it becomes the truth, has never been more evident in society and the SEVCO lie spreading to Celtic supporters and websites/podcasts accepting the lie as true, rabbiting on about it and comparing the two, proves this and is totally dismal. God help the upcoming children if they are bred to treat yet another Brit lie about history as true !
