Chris Sutton has snubbed Sevco in his BT Sport team of the week.
Mark Warburton slammed his side after the 1-1 draw at Ross County on Sunday with Sutton in agreement- ignoring the claims of the Ibrox side while putting Andrew Davies and Chris Burke from the home-side into his team of the week.
Two Celtic players, Stuart Armstrong and Patrick Roberts make the team but it’s Aberdeen that dominate with four players selected from Derek McInnes’ side.

Through the spine of his side Sutton has chosen Anthony O’Connor, James Maddison and Jayden Stockley with Graeme Shinnie in the side at left-back.
Normally in these sort of selections a token player from one of the bigger clubs would be chosen to ‘even things out’ but Sutton has shown that he is no fan of convention.
Selecting four Aberdeen players also shows that there are no hard feelings against Derek McInnes despite the Dons boss storming out of an interview with the broadcaster.
BT Sport covered Aberdeen’s 2-1 win Partick Thistle which kicked off a good weekend for the Dons with Sevco, Hearts and St Johnstone all dropping points allowing Aberdeen into second place.
With Celtic now 11 points clear at the top of the table it’s likely that the scrap for second place, and also relegation, will become more of a focus with almost all pundits in agreement that Brendan Rodgers side are in a league of their own.
