If you’re expecting on-screen fireworks when Chris Sutton joins Kris Boyd on the Sky airwaves, maybe think again. There weren’t so much sparks flying as the TV broadcaster’s new punditry duo met up at their Scottish HQ yesterday as high fives and slaps on the back.
Well, not quite. But don’t be fooled into thinking Ibrox legend Boyd is going to spend all his time sitting alongside the former Celtic hero in the studio arguing green is blue in the face of evidence to the contrary.
The announcement that Record Sport columnist Sutton was joining Sky’s squad of expert analysts teased the prospect of Scottish football’s two most outspoken voices going head to head on a weekly basis.
As Gers’ baiter-in-chief, Sutton has spent the past decade successfully working his way up the noses of everyone at Ibrox while pointing out the Light Blues’ many failings.
