Chris Sutton is entering that stage in his life where his media career is starting to overshadow his playing days.

With BT Sport, BBC 5 Live and newspaper columns in Scotland and England all supported by a heavy presence on Twitter it is difficult to avoid the former Celtic striker.

Going on for two months without football BT Sport delved into their archives to produce a Sunday night feast for Celtic fans with four classic Champions League matches.

The biggest names in the business have all fallen at Celtic Park with Juventus just the third team to visit the east end of Glasgow back in the winter of 2001.

Martin O’Neill’s side were afraid of no-one, after an epic 90 minutes the hoops came out on top of a seven goal thriller with Sutton possibly outshining Henrik Larsson on the night.

Despite picking up nine points Celtic were edged out of a place in the next phase by Juve and Porto. There was no great prize on the night but Juve were soon followed by Manchester United, AC Milan and Barcelona as giants of the game to discover that special things happen under the lights of Celtic Park.
