Chris Sutton has continued to wind up Rangers midfielder Todd Cantwell as he took aim at the midfielder for his actions during today's Scottish Cup semi-final.
The former Norwich man was filmed shifting a water bag away from Celtic midfielder Reo Hatate as he attempted to take a drink.
Fans have criticised Cantwell for his sportsmanship over the incident, and Sutton had his say on Twitter as he quoted the footage as one supporter branded the Englishman a "clown".
He said: "Harsh on TC. In fairness to Todd he needed to make sure there was sufficient water saved to make his hair look good…"

Sutton was alluding to the fact that Cantwell sprayed water on his hair before styling it with his hands in the footage.
On the game itself, Sutton said: "We'll probably hear the Rangers players come out tomorrow and say that we will see the real Rangers in the final (derby) game of the season which essentially doesn't matter.
"All this closing the gap stuff, there's no closing the gap cup, it's a huge, huge summer for Rangers.
"There were passengers today, Michael Beale has hung his hat on Alfredo Morelos and over the years has been a good Rangers player, but he's been an absolute disgrace."
Meanwhile, Celtic attacker Jota claims “smart” play led to his winning goal against Rangers which set up a Scottish Cup final meeting with Inverness.
The Portuguese forward said: “We aim to be always good in every moment of the game and you need to be focused because there is always mistakes.
“Football is made of mistakes and you need to be able to understand when to take advantage of that and just be smart.
“Football is about that and when you have the opportunity, if you have the talent and if you are ruthless you get the opportunity to score and today was no different.
“Every game is different. As long as I can help the team achieve their goals, I will be happy, if I score or don’t score.
“To be in the right place at the right time inside the box is something we work a lot on and it is just a question of setting the moment. It felt like that could be a chance for me and I took it.”
The Viaplay Cup holders are one victory away from retaining the cinch Premiership title with Championship side Inverness standing in the way of domestic treble and Jota believes the clean sweep would be “amazing.”
