“I just sense…” – Chris Sutton’s Observation About Reaction To Brendan Rodgers’ “Fun” Comments

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers made headlines on Saturday evening after he stated that his side will have a bit of fun in the upcoming Glasgow derby.

The Bhoys strolled to a dominant 3-0 victory over Hearts at the weekend, putting in what was arguably their best performance of the campaign to date to maintain their three-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Kyogo Furuhashi bagged a brilliant first-half brace before Matt O’Riley rattled home from the spot late on to wrap up a productive afternoon for the Bhoys at Parkhead.

Rodgers’ post-match comments gained widescale traction, no more so than from Rangers boss Philippe Clement.

The Ibrox gaffer was visibly rattled despite his side winning 4-1 versus Kilmarnock on Sunday, stating that he would never say such words before contradicting himself and admitting that his team would have their own fun at Parkhead.

Sutton believes that the Celtic gaffer has Clement wrapped around his finger and that he is getting on his nerves.

He said: [Record Celtic Podcast] “I just sense that Brendan has got under his skin a little bit with the ‘we’re going to have fun’ comment.

“I think big Phil said something about that that wasn’t respectful to his team and he would never say anything like that and then went and said exactly the same as Brendan said and they’re going to have fun as well.

“It’s all petty, it’s Glasgow.”
