Chris Sutton's bitterness is shining through - every Old Firm matters

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has tried to take some of the shine off Rangers’ dominant Old Firm win yesterday by claiming it was a “meaningless” game – but the pundit knows as well as anyone that there’s no such thing when it comes to the Old Firm. Sutton first made the claim on BT…

Why raise Sutton’s (or others like him) profile by commenting on his views? Please let us in future concentrate on ourselves. Let’s do our homework (Stevie G and his staff will do that) on our opponents before each game but apart from that, it’s all about Rangers. WATP.

Agree that there is no such thing as meaningless OF game. However, " months for revenge " ?!!! Seriously ? I can assure you Celtic have more urgent matters such as a historic treble treble and CL group qualifiers. Still flattering yourselves.
Get that 50,000 bigots in order. A corner of neanderthals is the law of averages. A whole stadium spewing the worst of bile is another thing. The families of McNeill and Chalmers will know about this. How low are you prepared to go because I don’t think you can get lower. Scratch that Throw in child abuse, sectarianism, mental health. When will your club say anything about this because silence is a seal of approval which may be viewed as worth it for 50,000 season tickets. Dignity for sale

Are you honestly trying to use “whitaboutery”? Listen, neanderthal, both teams have a majority of normal human beings as fans. Both teams have a loud, bigoted minority. For every Steve Clarke getting abuse, there is a Derek McInnes. It is all wrong. Trying to claim that you have some moral high ground because you think the other side has more morons tells us more about you than anybody else.
I have respect for McNeill and Chalmers and have no desire to defend anybody using bigotry. But if I was like you, I could list occasions when Celtic fans have embarrassed Celtic, Glasgow and Scotland. I am not going to do so because I don’t want to sink to your level. Grow up

James, I think this site would be better without this guy. He adds nothing sensible or worth reading, just his own little brand of venom. I have Celtic supporting friends who I share banter with. He would not be among them

This is neither ’ whitaboutery ’ nor ’ venom '. I am calling out that extremely high volume of supporters for their shameful behaviour as any decent person should. It was no minority and we both know. I am not calling you out personally however if you feel the need to insult my mentality then water/ duck’s back. Your views on the Lisbon Lions are a moot point as I can only presume you are one of those who called it shameful, no ?
I condemn all bigotry and I include the IRA supporting morons who masquerade as Celtic supporters. I have yet to see a full Celtic Park singing in full volume about the deaths of rangers players. I am confident I never will.
Telling me to grow up and whinging to the editor don’t really go hand in hand.
As for the " some of my friends are " twaddle, you don’t have to be Sigmund Freud to know that that is the classic rejoinder of many a racist and homophobe.

His comments are meaningless

Who cares what Chris Sutton thinks? He wasn’t that good when he played.
