Ally McCoist dropped a cheeky barb at Celtic summer transfer business - but TV sparring partner Chris Sutton wasn't having it. The Ibrox legend claimed the reigning Premiership champions have "effectively made two signings" this summer as he previewed the upcoming campaign on BT Sport's Scottish Football Extra.
He name-checked Aaron Mooy and Benjamin Siegrist but insisted adding last season's loan stars Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers on permanent deals doesn't strengthen Celtic's squad in the same way as a new face. The Rangers hero's assessment left Sutton scratching his head, as McCoist said: Effectively, you've made two signings, haven't you? And one of them won't play. You've signed Aaron Mooy, who I'll reserve judgement on, and you've signed an excellent goalkeeper who won't play. The rest of them? They were there already - Jota, Carter-Vickers, these guys..."
Sutton let McCoist have his say before stepping in to point out that Ange Postecoglou had also tied up deals for Moritz Jenz on-loan from Lorient and left-back Alexandro Bernabei. The Celtic favourite said: "What about Moritz Jenz? That's three, then there's Bernabei at left-back where they needed to strengthen.
