Chris Sutton rips Michael Beale to shreds as ex Rangers boss mocked with 'awful cockney car salesman' jibe

Chris Sutton has ripped Michael Beale to shreds and told him: You deserve everything you get.

The outspoken Celtic hero was involved in a war of words with the now sacked Rangers boss during his tenure at Ibrox, with Beale once branding the pundit a 'comedy act'. In the wake of the Londoner getting his P45 from the Light Blues on Sunday, the Record Sport columnist couldn't resist a cheeky dig at the axed coach saying: "Some managers are comedy acts."

The former striker believes he promised Rangers fans a Ferrari, but could only give them a spluttering three-wheeler, while the decision to take in a game at Ibrox, ironically against Aberdeen, before Gio Van Bronckhorst was sacked has been branded an 'awful' way to approach it. Sutton reckons his sacking will be a 'life lesson' for the Englishman.

That was based on, me being a little bit petty. He dug me out, he said some ex-players are comedy acts, that was aimed at me and let’s look at what has happened now. The job was too big for him.

He made that comment about him when he was Celtic manager. Celtic will feel they were
