Chris Sutton has defended his tough line of questioning of Pedro Caixinha.
Live on BT Sport after his side’s 3-1 win at Ross County Sutton questioned the Sevco boss on his repeated claim that he has the best squad in Scotland.
Caixinha was left repeating the line as he was challenged to name any Celtic players that would not get into his side.
I asked does he have the best squad in Scotland?
What Celtic players would get into your team? Wow…
Pedro can handled himself ???? https://t.co/Xeqyuv4OED— Chris Sutton (@chris_sutton73) August 27, 2017

Sutton came in for some criticism for his hard line of questioning but most viewers were pleased to see a manager questioned rather than get the soft soap treatment.
After five months in charge of Sevco Caixinha has achieved one meaningful win- a 3-0 victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie. That result was avenged later in the season when the Dons won at Ibrox.
Two defeats within a week from Celtic exposed the limitations of the fifth best coach in Qatar with a further meeting with Brendan Rodgers’ side coming on September 23.
