Chris Sutton is inside Ibrox and on duty at today’s Glasgow Derby.
Two years ago, while with BT Sport he was banned from entering Ibrox with the broadcaster briefly shifting their Europa League presentations to Celtic Park.
BT Sport soon dropped the issue with Sutton switching to Sky Sports at the start of this season.
So far he has broadcast from Celtic, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen and Ross County today he returned to Ibrox after a lengthy absence.

After failing to follow follow the script Sutton has been the target for vicious online abuse from Ibrox fans.
Located on the gantry in front of the Directors Box and above the Tunnel, Sky Sports would be smart to bring in extra security with Sutton on duty alongside no-marks like James McFadden, Kris Boyd and Kenny Miller.
In April 2022 a Celtic physio was permanently disfigured by a bottle throw from an Ibrox hospitality guest.
Guys like Sutton are honest. They know the game and call it the way they see it and are not afraid to say it. That is why they hate him, the ones who would dictate the agenda according to their own agendas. That is why he is precious and why he has to be safe-guarded.

Did Ye get One?!
I think you’re a bit harsh on McFadden. At least he knows what he’s talking about.
