Former Celtic striker, Chris Sutton, has just started his second season on Sky Sports covering Scottish football this month.
Formerly of BT Sports, Sutton took on the new role at the broadcasting giant and it put him immediately up against former Rangers striker, Kris Boyd.

The Celtic fans have witnessed numerous sparring duels between the punditry pair and whilst much of it is in good humour, the debates, especially on Glasgow Derby days, can get heated.
And whilst the opinions of Boyd do sometimes irk the Celtic fans, Sutton has shared what it’s really like to be working with the outspoken pundit.
Sutton tells of ‘mutual respect’ with Boyd
The former Celtic hero does sometimes look exasperated with some of the opinions Boyd shares on the game but here, he tells how both of them enjoy a healthy working relationship during their broadcasts on Sky Sports.“I love the Scottish game and have thoroughly enjoyed the start of the season. There are some good stories materialising.”
The verbal duels the pair of them have do make for some entertaining television as they try and deliver their differing views on the game.With another season ahead of them and the potential of another six Glasgow Derbies this season, I am sure that we will see plenty of sparring between Sutton and Boyd as Rangers look to topple Celtic as Scotland’s dominant club.And that does seem to be the case now that Celtic are said to have approached Liverpool for one of their highly-rated youngsters this week.
Celtic ask Liverpool about Owen Beck
According to Football Scotland, Celtic have asked Liverpool how much Owen Beck will cost this summer as Rodgers looks to bolster his backline.
The 22-year-old was first linked to Celtic back in January but a report in The Times claimed that the advances of the club were ‘thwarted’ after Beck’s performances on loan at Dundee caught Celtic’s eye.
