As Celtic marched off the field with a resounding 3-0 win over St Mirren, Chris Sutton was quick to laud the team’s performance. Taking to social media, the Sky Sports pundit expressed his admiration for the Bhoys’ ability to dominate at a venue that has often been tricky for visitors.
“Celtic very impressive. So important to back up the Rangers victory at a toughish venue. O’Riley and McGregor once again running the show,” Sutton remarked. The Englishman’s analysis didn’t just stop at the team’s overall performance; he specifically pointed out the midfield maestros, O’Riley and McGregor, who orchestrated the victory with their dynamic play.
The former Celtic striker also highlighted the potential impact of Hatate and Abada, suggesting their fitness and form are akin to having new signings on the team.
Sutton, acknowledged the strategic importance of the win. With the Bhoys now eight points clear at the top, the pressure is mounting on their closest rivals, Rangers, who have games in hand. The Sky Sports pundit emphasised the psychological advantage Celtic gained with this victory, setting a precedent for their title rivals.
As the players head into the winter break, Sutton’s words ring in their ears. The win was more than just three points; it was a statement of intent.
If Celtic can strengthen in January, they’ll be in a great position to bring another title home.
