Celtic favourite Chris Sutton seems keen to play up to a bit of forecasted drama with Kris Boyd.

As we told you in early June, Sky’s coverage of Celtic league matches is about to change in a big way with the appointment of Sutton.
The Englishman will join former Rangers forward Boyd, presenter Eilidh Barbour and commentator Ian Crocker as the main faces and voices of the channel.
But it’s his relationship with Boyd that most people are excited about. The pair are undoubtedly the two loudest pundits in Scottish football, and they are unlikely to agree on too much.
Sutton is clearly relishing the studio battles too, saying: “I can’t wait to join the Sky Sports team ahead of an exciting new cinch Premiership season.
“I’m sure Kris and I will have some good discussions throughout!”
Sky’s first match of the season is our Flag Day opener against Ross County. They’re also showing Kilmarnock vs Rangers later in the day so it’s possible that the pair will be split up for the opening weekend.
But the first derby of the season at Ibrox is only six weeks away. It’s not as if that fixture really needed any more drama, but Sutton may provide it as he no doubt puts Boyd in his place.
Bring on the new season.
