Was Chris Sutton right to call out Bobby Madden and Kris Boyd?

Disappointment is temporary so they say. And that is true.
When you look at Celtic over the course of the last two decades, we have totally dominated Scottish football.
From 2000-2020 we have collected SIXTEEN titles, TEN Scottish Cups and NINE league cups.
An outstanding trophy haul that has never been matched before. Even in the pre liquidation Rangers days, Celtic have always been the dominant force in Scottish football.
So the point is, whilst yesterday was bitterly disappointing, the bigger picture will show at the end of the season that Celtic’s class will always shine.
And class is something that, sadly, lacks with BT pundit Kris Boyd.
Awfully quiet after the last two Glasgow Derby defeats, Boyd responded to Bobby Maddens Instagram post wishing people a Happy Easter in what was clearly an attempt to wind up the Celtic supporters and Sutton called it out with a simple tweet:

No words required, but was it really necessary?
Celtic lost the game because of their own performance, not the ref.
Granted, Bobby Madden had an absolute shocker, but these types of things, especially when it involves Boyd, should be ignored.
We have bigger fish to fry this coming weekend in what could be a monumental step towards the title.
Leave the bitterness to our rivals.
