Even as a striker who seemed to cherish every time the ball hit the net Chris Sutton wasn’t impressed by Nir Bitton’s goal for Celtic against Raith Rovers.
Leading by 3-0 at the time there was some confusion as Steven McLean flashed a second yellow card at Sean Mackie for handball without appearing to realise that the Raith Rovers substitute should have been sent off.
Bitton was a regular penalty taker under Ronny Deila but looked decidedly rusty as he stepped upto the mark. Jamie MacDonald pushed his effort onto the post but as the rebound came out the midfielder stabbed his shot into the ground to bounce over the Raith goalie.
Disgusting goal from Bitton 4-0

The scorer didn’t seem too pleased with his effort but they all count with Celtic the seventh Premiership side in the hat for tomorrow’s draw with Dundee travelling to Peterhead tomorrow hoping to make it a clean sweep of the big boys.
You scored some disgusting goals as well Chris. They were not all brilliant. Please do not belittle what is a great and loyal servant in Nir Bitton. I am always pleased to watch him play.
Strange from Chris but I suppose it all boils down to the fact that—-oh the wangers are shite and that’s the way it goes!
Patrick power paid out yet?
He was taking the p@#$, and having a laugh. He even claimed it was that bad it shouldn’t have been allowed!
Did you even watch the game? The Bitton penalty was saved, but pushed right back out to him!
It didn’t go near the post!
Gary Lineker was once interviewed by kids after a world cup tournament in which he was top scorer. One kid said what is your secret Gary. And he said my job is to put the ball on target if the goalkeeper doesn’t do his job I celebrate…a goal is a goal no matter how it’s scored … remember that interview Chris
