Former Celtic defender Bobo Balde used to hit rivals in the tunnel before facing them "most weeks" according to Chris Sutton - including Rangers star Craig Moore.

The towering centre-back enjoyed a glittering career at Celtic Park, lifting five Scottish league titles during his eight year stint in Glasgow's east end, as well as playing a key role in the run to the UEFA Cup final in Sevilla.

Despite being a key figure during Martin O'Neill's tenure, Balde was known for being a tough act both on and off the pitch. Sutton has revealed that former Ibrox defender Moore was a regular target for the Parkhead fan favourite when they faced off against Rangers.

Speaking to Radio 5 Live's podcast Housery, the Celtic hero said: "Bobo Balde, do you remember him? I don't know if you would describe it as housery but he used to have a habit of just indiscriminately hitting people in the tunnel most weeks.
