Chris Sutton has responded to Michael Beale’s savage attack on him with a famous quote from Rangers flop boss Pedro Caixinha.
Beale, while refusing to name the former Celtic striker, described Record Sport columnist Sutton as a “comedy act” and the “worst ever player” to turn out for his boyhood heroes Chelsea. The Ibrox boss was responding to Sutton posing the question of whether Beale would have been as sporting to gift Celtic a goal as he had with Partick Thistle in the Scottish Cup tie after Malik Tillman netted an unethical goal.
And now Sutton has responded on social media with the quote: “The dog barks but the caravan keeps moving on??” That is a reference to Caixinha who said that when criticism started to mount on his disastrous Rangers managerial stint. He said: “What I need to tell you, and it’s a Portuguese saying, ‘the dogs bark and the caravan keeps going’. That means that we are focused in our work. We are all together in the same direction.”
