BT SPORTS have contacted UEFA over Thursday night’s Ibrox ban for two of their nominated pundits.
Two former Celtic players Chris Sutton and Neil Lennon were set to be pundits for the broadcaster during the Celtic game. As is common practice with BT, they set up a studio in whatever Glasgow club is at home in Europe but cover both games for their viewers.
This is why Chris and Neil were heading to the stadium on Thursday evening and were booked in to do their job.
It became clear on Thursday afternoon they would not be permitted entry to the ground due to ‘security reasons’. Chris Sutton took to social media to comment on the lunacy of a pundit not being able to do their job in case fans get upset by their presence.
According to Stephen McGowan in today’s print edition of the Scottish Daily Mail [P91] the broadcaster have taken this snub to UEFA and are unhappy at the ridiculous call from the Glasgow side.
They had to switch to a London studio last minute to cover the Celtic game as a result and both Chris and Neil were put on the sidelines. It’s not a good look unless you’re pandering to the most unhinged.
