Chris Sutton was hit with a 'you better stop talking' slap down live on TV after making comparison between Celtic and Manchester City's style of play.
Former Tottenham, Newcastle and England midfielder Jermaine Jenas was stunned by the claim from the Hoops hero, which was originally made by Hibs boss Lee Johnson this week. He claimed Ange Postecoglou's side - who battered the Hibees 4-0 on their own patch - are one of the best sides he's come up against bar Pep Guardiola's star-studded EPL outfit.
The former Celtic striker shared a similar view to the Easter Road gaffer as he discussed 'Angeball' and the improvement and progression the Scottish champions have made since his arrival at the club 18 months ago. He expressed his opinion on air while trolling Robbie Savage by branding Macclesfield as 'brutal'

But Jenas was having none of the comparison as he delivered an eleven word shutdown at Sutton.
Speaking on BT Sport, he said: "You have Robbie's team Macclesfield, who were brutal to watch, and then you watch Angeball up in Scotland. The way the team play, the way he has progressed the club and moved them on.
"The brand of football, they are so similar to Manchester City in the way they play. He has improved them so much."
Jenas responded: "You better stop talking right now, I am not having that."
Speaking earlier this week after facing Celtic, Johnson said: "I’ve managed against English Premier League teams and Celtic are maybe one of the best sides, bar Manchester City, that I’ve come across.
"They’re maybe not all household names but they are a unit, a team, they’re dynamic, they’ve got penetrative runs, and as a squad and players you have to learn from that and I think we are learning, we are improving.”
