This is the only clip which shows the Sutton comments…

It’s from BBC Scotland, so obviously it’s going to be biased. Of all the match footage, they choose to show our two penalties and St Mirren’s goal at Ibrox.

Here is some of the fall out from after the game…

Celtic's Chris Sutton has been given a one-match ban for his outburst at the end of last season when he accused Dunfermline of "lying down" to R*ngers.

The English striker made his comments on BBC television on the final day of the season as his side lost out on goal difference to their Glasgow rivals in the race for the SPL title. Sutton apologised for his comments in a statement published on the club's website, but has already picked up a four-match ban for abusing the match officials after Celtic's win over Kilmarnock on the same day.

He was charged with bringing the game into disrepute and was given the additional ban by the Scottish Football Association's general purposes committee at Hampden on Monday morning

Celtic's Chris Sutton has responded to demands from Dunfermline Athletic by personally apologising for accusing the Pars of "lying down" to R*ngers.

Dunfermline had called a media conference earlier on Friday to express their disappointment that Sutton's only retraction had come in the press through his agent.

And Pars chairman John Yorkston claimed the remarks, made after R*ngers pipped their rivals to the Scottish title, were an example of "a culture of conspiracy theories" at Celtic Park whenever events turned against the Glasgow club.

But Sutton, who on Friday learned that the two red cards he picked up after Sunday's defeat of Kilmarnock had earned him a four-game ban, has now issued a personal statement on his club's website.

"I had made it clear on Monday the circumstances in which my comments were made and that I regretted any offence which these comments may have caused," said the English striker.

"I would like to reiterate that I apologise sincerely to Dunfermline Athletic Football Club, the players, management team and supporters for any offence which my comments may have caused.

"As everyone will know, these comments were made in the immediate aftermath of us losing the title and at the end of an extremely disappointing week.

"I have great respect for the Dunfermline players as fellow professionals and I hope that they will accept this apology in the manner in which it is offered."

Yorkston had not discounted court action if a suitable apology was not issued.

The frustrated Dunfermline chairman had said: "We have waited for five days and no apology has been forthcoming.

"There was a statement from his agent saying he regretted any upset caused, but he did not retract the suggestion that Dunfermline had been lying down.

"I thought we would have heard from Chris or Celtic as, if any Dunfermline had made such accusations against another club, I would have been on the phone immediately to apologise.

"There seems to be a culture of conspiracy theories at Celtic that everything that goes against them is because people are ganging up on them.

"Half our team were in Seville to cheer on Celtic in the Uefa Cup final and the boy who conceded the penalty against R*ngers is a Celtic fan who I doubt gave it away deliberately."

Dunfermline's 6-1 defeat on Sunday allowed R*ngers to snatch the title from the reigning champions on goal difference after Celtic's 4-0 win at Rugby Park proved to be not enough.

Sutton was booked during the game and was afterwards shown a red card for abusive language aimed at a linesman, followed by another red card for a similar offence against the referee.

He was automatically banned for two matches at the start of the season and two more were added after the cards took him through the disciplinary points barrier.

The Scottish Football Association could still add further to Sutton's suspension as it has yet to rule on whether his comments brought the game into disrepute.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Legend.

We could be doing with someone like him these days within the club to speak up against the establishment.

the guy is an absolute gent! he tells it exactly what its like and we know this too! hail hail big sutty

Big Sutton what a guy. Wish he was still at parkhead banging them in!

Big Sutton is a Celtic legend in my eyes, formed one of the best strike partnerships OF ALL TIME with King Henrik, and took no pish off nobody. Brilliant big man, hail hail

With Scott Wilson and Gus McPherson in their defence they were always going to be cheating bastards.

The epitomy of someone who came to the club and grasped everything about it with both hands
