Chris Sutton was far from impressed by Celtic in their 0-0 draw against Motherwell at Fir Park.
The red card given to Cedric Kipre four minutes before half time proved to be a pivotal with Celtic dominating the second half but unable to breach the home defence.
.@btsportfootball Harsh red but Kipre daft to give ref a decision to make….

Kipre put in a dangerous lunge to send Brown crashing to the ground, the hoops skipper pushed back with the home defender sticking out a leg.
The initial lunge looked more dangerous than the one that Craig Thomson indicated had earned the red card.
Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson confronted Brown at half time in the tunnel but no action was taken by Thomson with the Fir Park boss in the dug out for the second half.
Te draw takes Celtic ten points clear at the top of the Premiership with eight matches left to play, the hoops are next in action on March 31 at home to Ross County followed by the visit of Neil McCann’s Dundee.
