Chris Sutton’s worst fears were confirmed about the Celtic defence tonight as the hoops crashed 7-1 to Bayern Munich.
From the start of the season the BT Sport pundit has questioned Celtic’s defensive options with the first choice pairing taken apart tonight.
Jozo Simunovic was virtually posted missing in his first appearance since facing Anderlecht in September while Dedryck Boyata was given his toughest ever night in a Celtic shirt.
.@btsportfootball Celtic outclassed as many expected..7-1 PSG classy???????? Rodgers tactics are fine but the defensive personnel and goalkeeper aren’t at this elite level… Your thoughts??

Sutton described playing Nir Bitton at the back in the Champions League Play Off against Astana as a £25m gamble but on that occasion the hoops came up trumps.
Two games against Paris Saint Germain have exposed the defensive failing with the French side scoring 12 goals with half of them down to defensive short comings.
Rodgers has prioritised signing a central defender in the January transfer window with Celtic needing to avoid a three goal defeat from Anderlecht in the final match of Group B to earn a Europa League place in February.
