Sutton UNLEASHES Fury: This is Why Celtic is NOT a Laughing Stock in the Champions League!

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has come to the defense of his old club after a stinging criticism from Robbie Savage and an unflattering comparison to Manchester United. Savage, who has never been afraid to speak his mind, made the comments in the wake of Celtic's latest Champions League performance, but Sutton believes his views are off the mark.

Sutton, who currently works as a football pundit, took to social media to express his discontent with Savage's words, stating that they were unfair and inaccurate. According to Sutton, Celtic has shown some truly impressive form in the Champions League and should not be written off just yet.

Savage had claimed that Celtic's European performances have been "embarrassing" and the Hoops' style of play is too defensive-minded for the competition. Savage also drew a comparison to Manchester United, suggesting that Celtic's lack of ambition and attacking intent is holding them back from making it to the next level.

However, Sutton has sought to correct Savage's assessment of his former club. The ex-striker believes that Celtic has shown it can be a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League and their performances have been far from embarrassing. Sutton also rejected the comparison to Manchester United, insisting that it was unfair to compare the two clubs, as Celtic operates on a fraction of Manchester United's budget.

Celtic fans have rallied behind Sutton's passionate defense of their club, and it is clear that the former player still has the pulse of the Hoops faithful. While Celtic still has much to prove in the Champions League, Sutton's unwavering support for the club may yet prove to be an important factor in their European campaign.
