Celtic hero Chris Sutton makes referee debut as he joked 'maybe I'll try Glasgow next'

Chris Sutton has tried his hand at refereeing as he took on his first ever match as the man in the middle before joking "maybe I'll try Glasgow next".

The former Celtic star is never shy in delivering his opinion on the big talking points in our game - including decisions from the officials. VAR is now in force in Scotland's top flight with the referee and his team now at all Premiership games assisted with major calls for penalties, offsides, red cards regularly checked by the video assistant.

It's become a major talker - both good and bad - this campaign with decisions from officials often under the spotlight. Now, the Hoops hero has taken to the pitch to experience the role of a referee first hand as he took on a match between Rosehill and Didcot in Oxfordshire. He labelled the experience as 'really interesting' and even quipped that he would give it another shot north of the border.
