Scott McDonald has accused Chris Sutton of being a Celtic cheerleader!

The Australian striker launched his media career with BBC Scotland and BT Sport while still taking a wage from Motherwell and Dundee United before a swansong with Partick Thistle.

Sutton’s crime in the eyes of McDonald was to talk up the comparative values of Kieran Tierney and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Tierney has played in 41 European matches, captained club and country and won title while the Palace kid is an u-21 internationalist who panicked himself into scoring a stoppage time own goal in his last appearance.

Every Celtic fan realises that Scottish footballers are valued differently to the poster boys of the EPL, even those with one season under their belt but to see Tierney rated at around £15-18m while a Palace defender is priced at three times that much is stretching things too far.

As Champions League winners Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson have proved players from the SPFL can reach the very top.
