Celtic daft Chris Sutton has gone viral after hilariously reacting to Kenny Miller's bizarre defence of John Lundstram's Rangers red card.
The Light Blues midfielder was dismissed by referee Willie Collum after sliding in on Celtic's Alistair Johnston during Saturday’s Glasgow derby clash.
The whistler had initially just banished Lundstram with a yellow card shortly before the half-time break, but that was overturned and changed to red following a VAR review.
That decision made Miller, who played for both Glasgow giants, furious as he unleashed a sensational rant live on commentary.

He argued: "He's going to win the ball, Johnston plants his leg and he catches him. Every tackle like that cannot be a red card.
"See in real time, that's never a red card. Never a red card. Now, looking at the still."
After the decision was made, he continued his blast: "You know what, the way the game is going now, that is not a red card. There's no way that's a red card.
"Every kick can't be a red card. Alistair Johnston plants his foot in the way of where John Lundstram is going."
The general consensus amongst fans and pundits is that the decision to show Lundstram an early bath was the correct one - with Sutton agreeing that the former Sheffield United star was "out of control".
Although Miller wasn't backing down as he wanted to reiterate his case whilst in the gantry with Sutton post-match.

The passionate Miller stated: "Listen, I understand why it's a red card, in this day and age when you slow things down and you put the point of contact.
"John Lundstram's foot is planted right against the side of Alistair Johnston's leg. But what I would say is had VAR not been there, nobody is moaning that that's not a red card. It's a yellow card, no doubt about it. I understand why it's a red card but when you see it in real time. Yeah he's fast..."
Throughout the exchange Sutton can be seen raising his eyebrows at the point Miller is trying to convey as well as smirking at the responses he was receiving that were defending the Rangers man.
