Celtic enthusiast Chris Sutton has become an internet sensation following his comical response to Kenny Miller’s peculiar defense of John Lundstram’s red card in the Rangers’ recent game.
During the Glasgow derby clash on Saturday, the Light Blues midfielder was sent off by referee Willie Collum for a challenge on Celtic’s Alistair Johnston. Initially shown a yellow card, the decision was upgraded to a red after a VAR review.
Former player Miller, known for his stints with both Glasgow clubs, expressed his frustration during a live commentary, arguing vehemently against the red card decision. He emphasized that the tackle did not warrant such a severe punishment, particularly when viewed in real time.
Despite the footballing community supporting the referee’s call, with Chris Sutton pointing out Lundstram had lost control, Miller stood firm in his belief that the challenge was not deserving of a red card. Even after the match, he continued to justify his stance to Sutton, maintaining that had it not been for VAR, the incident would have been overlooked as a yellow card offense.
Sutton, visibly amused and skeptical, raised his eyebrows and smirked in response to Miller’s impassioned defense of Lundstram.
