Micah Richards has called out Celtic hero Chris Sutton for his tweets following Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final.
The Hoops legend was working as a pundit at Hampden Park as Ange Postecoglou's side defeated Rangers in Mount Florida.
Following the game, Sutton was quick to take to Twitter has he fired a jibe at Ibrox manager Michael Beale.
He said: "Well played Celtic absolutely relentless. Cameron Carter- Vickers wis a warrior… maybe we will see the real Rangers next time #Bealeball."
Sutton appeared on Radio 5 Live last night and Richards was quick to pull him up over the comments.
He said: "Chris, what do you mean by Bealeball? Is that a dig? You are a very petty man aren't you?"
Sutton then replied: "Wow... yes I am at times."
Beale has told his squad some players will be fighting for their futures as their “disappointing season” enters the final stages.
The Light Blues were consigned to a campaign without silverware when they lost 1-0 to Celtic at Hampden in Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi-final.
Three consecutive defeats against their city rivals have put the Hoops well on course for the treble and cemented Beale’s desire to revamp his squad in the summer.
“Some are fighting for their futures obviously,” Beale said.
“We have to play the games in front of us. It’s a big weight and responsibility wearing the shirt for Rangers. It’s a huge privilege as well.
“Next week, Ibrox will be an interesting place but the fans will be there because that’s what they do, they support their team and they expect their team to win.
“This one will sting for a few days but the problems are throughout the season. It’s been a disappointing season for a Rangers fan. From the moment we beat PSV, it promised a lot more than it’s given.
“It’s the first season in a couple of years that we haven’t won a trophy or haven’t had a big finale.
“That’s disappointing for me as the manager and everybody associated with the club.
“All we can do is move forward and do better – we need to do better.”
