The dressing room that Chris Sutton shared with Henrik Larsson, Bobo Balde, Alan Thompson and Johan Mjallby was brimming with characters, social media outbursts would have been ‘dealt with’ internally but those days are long past.

His surname causes alarm among many Celtic fans, even if Mark is nothing like his Dad, is competent, modest and hard working without an ego in need of regular massage he will be viewed suspiciously by hoops supporters.
More is surely needed if Celtic are to enter the autumn in a position of strength. Maybe one, certainly two impact signings would transform the landscape

As everyone in Scottish football knows Ange Postecoglou lost three of his first six SPFL matches, a run that is buying Beale time after he splashed the cash during the summer and appeared to come up with a forward line less interested and potent than Kemar Roofe, Alfredo Morelos and…
And for as poor as Morelos was at times, even playing 50% he offered more than Danillo or Dessers, who, thus far, have shown nothing.
