The Record Sport columnist said Rodgers was 'going through the motions' earlier in the season and the Irishman took exception.
Chris Sutton insists he has no issue with Brendan Rodgers calling out his comments as he applauded the Celtic manager’s move towards the title.
Rodgers referenced those comments in the immediate aftermath of the boss’ latest Old Firm win. Sutton takes no umbrage at that reply and said: “Brendan has a right to his opinion, just the same as I have a right to mine. At that time when I used that phrase, Celtic were playing poorly, even in some games they were winning. They didn’t look at it and I said that is the manager’s responsibility.
“I’m not going to hide or just say nice things about Celtic all the time because I played for them. That’s not what I get paid for. I get paid to say it as I see it and that goes for every club, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hearts, anyone in Scotland or in England. “Rangers have fallen apart in the past month and Brendan has got his team playing at the right time when Philippe Clement has not. Important players have returned and he’s lifted the performances and the results at a vital stage of the season. That’s worthy of great credit.
