BT Sport pundit and former Celtic striker, Chris Sutton has hit out at Gary Breen on Twitter over his comments around Shane Duffy.
Breen claimed that due to the standard of football in Scotland, Duffy could struggle to get in the Ireland National side. These comments were of course, ridiculed by many on social media, including Sutton who called the comments ‘idiotic’
