Gary Neville has suggested Qatar are more harshly treated than Saudi Arabia and the UAE when it comes to criticism of their human rights record as he launched another impassioned defence of his decision to work for a state-owned broadcaster at the World Cup.
The former Manchester United and England defender has sparked a blacklash on social media for agreeing to be a pundit for beIN SPORTS during the tournament.
Qatar has been heavily criticised over its stance on human rights, particularly its attitude towards women and gay people, in the build-up to the World Cup.
