Chris Sutton and Kris Boyd clashed during a heated Sky Sports broadcast ahead of the derby match between Celtic and Rangers. The debate centered around Celtic manager Martin O'Neill's tactical decision to switch to a back three, bringing Auston Trusty into the starting lineup alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers and Liam Scales. Sutton argued that the tactical shift was necessary because Celtic had been too easy to play against in major matches this season.
The exchange intensified when Boyd questioned who was actually responsible for Celtic's team selection, prompting Sutton to call him a fool. Boyd also questioned why O'Neill had not implemented these tactical adjustments during the previous weekend's 3-0 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox, a point of criticism that Sutton conceded was legitimate.
