BT Sport pundit Chris Sutton sent FLYING by rogue slide tackle as he presents on live TV

After all the years of torment, Rangers supporters finally have something to laugh about when it comes to Celtic icon Chris Sutton.

The former Chelsea and Blackburn striker used to cause all sorts problems for the Gers back in his playing days at Celtic Park.

But he was brought crashing to the floor when former Motherwell defender and fellow pundit Stephen Craigan launched a crunching sliding tackle at his legs during the opening of BT Sport’s Scottish Football Extra show.

Sutton was discussing the Motherwell and Aberdeen lunchtime clash when Craigan bolted into shot and took the 44-year-old to the ground.

Presenter Jake Humphrey came close to suffering collateral damage but he skipped past the arriving challenge.

Sutton’s notes were consequently sent flying into the air as he came crashing onto the turf with a face full of grass.

The whole incident did appear a little staged, but there is no doubt that Sutton completely unexpected the sheer force of the tackle.

A red card offence surely? But no, presenter Humphrey allowed the Northern Ireland under-19 assistant manager to continue his punditry duties.

Sutton scored 86 goals in 199 games for The Hoops as he helped them dominate Scottish football between 2000 and 2006, winning three SPL titles, three Scottish Cups and one Scottish League Cup.

He has also featured on Match of the Day this season and dividend opinions with his controversially opinionated analysis.

Ex-Scotland international and current Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam reacted to the video, which is doing the rounds on Twitter, by tweeting “brilliant.”

Other football fans are also lapping up the incident, replying to Sutton’s retweet of the video.
