Chris Sutton has admitted he is a fan of the mind-games Lawrence Shankland tried on Arne Engels as he stepped up to take Celtic's penalty in the weekend win over Hearts.

The big money summer recruit was handed the ball and got up and running as the Hoops ran out 2-0 winners. Post-match Brendan Rodgers confirmed Reo Hatate is the number one choice from 12-yards with Engels the second pick but the midfielder handed over the ball in a move that didn't annoy the Parkhead gaffer.

Following the match, footage emerged of Hearts and Scotland striker Shankland trying in vain to put off the ice-cool Belgium cap as he shouted in his ear seconds before stepping up to face Craig Gordon.
