Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has once again showcased his trademark humor, this time playfully advising his It’s All Kicking Off Podcast co-host Ian Ladyman to skip the upcoming Glasgow Derby on March 16th at Celtic Park.
Sutton’s remarks follow Rangers’ recent slump in form, which has seen them suffer three consecutive defeats at Ibrox against Queen’s Park, St Mirren, and Motherwell.
Sutton Pokes Fun at Rangers’ Recent Struggles:

Known for his love of banter, Sutton quipped that the Glasgow Derby would lack competitiveness due to Rangers’ ongoing struggles.
“I wouldn’t bother with Celtic and Rangers. They’ve got one in a couple of weeks, but that’s all done,” Sutton joked on the It’s All Kicking Off Podcast. His humorous take came in response to Rangers’ dip in form, with their recent string of home losses sparking further scrutiny of the Ibrox side.
While Sutton’s comments were clearly made in jest, they also reflected a sense of confidence in Celtic’s prospects for the upcoming derby, particularly given the contrasting fortunes of the two teams.
Glasgow Derby Less Competitive?

Though Sutton’s remarks were lighthearted, Celtic fans are likely feeling optimistic ahead of the clash with Rangers, especially considering the current disparity in form between the sides.
That said, football is unpredictable, and anything can happen on the day. Despite Sutton’s playful teasing, both teams will be fully aware of the high stakes and fierce rivalry that define this fixture, with Celtic looking to strengthen their position at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
As the match approaches, all eyes will be on Celtic Park to see if Sutton’s prediction of a one-sided contest holds true. For now, though, Sutton seems to be relishing the opportunity to rib his co-host about the highly anticipated showdown.
