Bairnardo Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 CHRIS SUTTON has been red-carded AGAIN from appearing at Ibrox for broadcaster BT Sport. The Celtic icon was due to appear at the home of Rangers as part of Thursday’s Europa League action as the Scottish Champions take on Sparta Prague. But he’ll now take his seat at an EMPTY Celtic Park in the latest twist in an ongoing spat over the former Hoops star who is famed for his outspoken views on the game. Rangers host Sparta in a 7.45pm kick-off but the TV crew will be based at Parkhead despite the Hoops playing away to Bayer Leverkusen in an earlier fixture. The broadcaster would normally be in attendance at the live home game but BT bosses made a last-minute switch when Gers blackballed Sutton. Last night a source said: “It’s going to look pretty strange when they’re analysing the game from an empty stadium. “But Chris Sutton is a valued member of the BT Sport team so when Gers told them he wasn’t welcome they didn’t hesitate to change their plans. “There was no way they would leave Chris.” In September Gers chiefs informed BT of a decision to refuse entry to pundits Sutton and former Celtic boss Neil Lennon due to security concerns. Last night a BT Sport spokeswoman said: “This Thursday BT Sport will present the live UEFA Europa League Celtic and Rangers matches back to back on BT Sport 3HD from an empty Celtic Park. “We would have preferred to have kept our presentation team together at Ibrox but unfortunately this has not been made possible.”Everyone has a right to call out this patheticness, except u m9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I’m not allowed to comment on it apparently, @Bairnardo Not sure what my logic there was tbh. Was a bit pissed. It would undoubtedly be rooted in a general "2 cheeks" logic, but maybe also to do with the pathetic tit for tat banning of other cheeks fans from OF fixtures. We can never truly know. I cant undrink the whisky that led us here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clown Job Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Need to be honest, despite our improvement over the season I can’t see us taking anything from this game 3-0 to the home team Edit: Would be happy to see us qualify for the conference though.

Although it’s pretty clear they’re only at Parkhead to stick two fingers up at Sevco. If there had been a genuine reason for not being able to have a studio at Ibrox they’d have been in a nondescript broom cupboard somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 How did three Celtic players manage to get sucked into that short pass from the keeper and leave the whole of centre mid wide open? Embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
