It would be one of the greatest mismatches in broadcasting history.
The rugby loving expert dependent on BBC Scotland against the former footballer that won the league titles in Scotland and England, played for his country and in a European final and who is now in demand with the Daily Mail, Daily Record, BT Sport and BBC 5 Live!
On Wednesday night after beating Ross County, Chris Sutton referred to Celtic being down to the bare bones. A reasonable conclusion for a side without Kyogo Furuhashi, Albian Ajeti, James Forrest, Mikey Johnston, Giorgos Giakoumakis and Jota. The key winger positions were filled by defenders Josip Juranovic and Adam Montgomery.
Being the troll that he is Tom English picked up on bare bones and was taken apart by those not blocked from his Twitter account.
The keyboard or his cubicle with the state broadcaster is English’s happy place, never challenged or taken to task by the likes of Neil McCann, Charlie Adam, Chris Burke, Richard Forster or Billy Dodds. An echo chamber hardly overflowing with diversity.
Sutton won’t be referencing the egg-chaser on his multiple media appearances this weekend, after watching the Olympics and Lions Tour on his telly English will be trolling away as ever for relevance.
Celtic have some balls under Ange Postecoglou. Fair play. Down to the bare bones and still dig out a result??

Celtic had eight international players in their starting line-up tonight. And another three on the bench. Against Ross County #barebones

Whose opinion do you rate highest?
Sutty- No contest, he knows his onion
Succulent- An egg-chaser with vast contacts
