Chris Sutton fights Celtic's corner as pundit fires back at 'stupid' Robbie Savage Leicester question

Celtic legend Chris Sutton has launched a firm defence of his former club as he fired back at on-air rival Robbie Savage.

The pair love nothing more than going toe to toe on BT Sport's Early Kick-Off show and it was no different on Saturday.

Savage was racing through his quick-fire question round when he delivered a poser that had Sutton fighting the Hoops' corner.

Ex- Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has Leicester City flying high in the Premier League as the Irishman gets ready for an emotional return to former club Liverpool.

The former Foxes midfielder Savage asked the panel: "How many Celtic players would get in Leicester's team?"

And that led to the Record Sport columnist launching an impassioned case for the Parkhead side.

Sutton said: "What a stupid question Rob.

"You can't buy history - how many Leicester players would get in the Celtic hall of fame?

"Name a Leicester great? I can name plenty of Celtic greats, Jimmy Johnstone, Paul McStay and Henrik Larsson ."

"Celtic have won the European Cup and over 100 trophies.

"Name Leicester's trophy haul"

But fellow guest Steve Sidwell fired back: "You're living in the past, Chris."
