Michael Beale has taken aim at Chris Sutton with his “comedy act” swipe at the Record Sport columnist.
But the Celtic faithful calling up the Hotline suggested the joke was actually on the Rangers manager as they rushed to defend the former Parkhead favourite. David Bryce, Troon, rang to say: “Michael Beale has a real cheek, insinuating that Chris Sutton is the worst player to play for Chelsea. Sutton was an absolutely brilliant player for Norwich, Blackburn and Celtic. Beale had no football career whatsoever. What a brass neck this man has!”
Eddie Easson, Fife, was next up, saying: “Motormouth Beale is at it again. This time it appears to have Chris Sutton in his sights. The worst player Chelsea ever had, the silent assassin said. Although he never had the guts to name him. Big Chris should throw back a challenge. It could be a massive charity event called: ‘Show me your medals!"
