Chris Sutton reacts as Celtic’s bid to get fans back in for Motherwell game is rejected

The Scottish government has knocked back Celtic’s bid to get fans into Parkhead for weekend’s game against Motherwell. Football’s Covid-19 Joint Response Group had requested for a limited numbers of supporters to return to the stadium for Sunday’s Scottish Premiership game, but that won’t be happening despite the fact that rugby fans will be returning to BT Murrayfield this Friday when Glasgow Warriors clash with Edinburgh in the second-leg of a Pro 14 double header. Celtic will have to play in an empty stadium and the government’s decision hasn’t gone down with former striker Chris Sutton, leading him to react thus on Twitter:

Good to see the rugby test event still getting the go ahead though on Friday… rugby fans obviously a much better bunch https://t.
