Chris Sutton pleads his Rangers 'innocence' as Micah Richards takes Celtic hero to task over 'personal' Beale dig

Chris Sutton had a verbal joust with Micah Richards as the former Manchester City defender accused him of making it personal with Michael Beale.

The Celtic hero has got into a war of words with the Rangers boss in recent weeks after Beale branded him a "comedy act" and the "worst ever player" to run out for his boyhood club Chelsea. Sutton has since responded calling him "thin-skinned" and tweeted after the Viaplay Cup final to point out that Beale is yet to win a trophy - as a player or a manager.

And he said on BBC Radio 5 Live that he'll now have to "climb into his box and lick his wounds" after defeat to his former side at Hampden. Sutton said: "There's that old adage isn't there? 'Actions speak louder than words.' Michael Beale's gone into Rangers and he's had a really positive start but he's had a lot to say for himself, calling out the Celtic manager and suggesting that he was lucky.
