“Has Chris Sutton Just BETRAYED Celtic Fans? Outrage Erupts After Daizen Maeda Comments!”
Chris Sutton, once hailed as a Celtic legend, might’ve just committed the ultimate sin in the eyes of Hoops supporters — and it’s all over his explosive take on Daizen Maeda following the tense 1-1 draw with Rangers.
Fans Are FUMING: “Sutton, What Were You Thinking?!”
During post-match coverage, Sutton shocked viewers with what many are calling a staggeringly harsh assessment of Maeda’s performance. Instead of backing the tireless forward, the former striker ripped into Maeda’s final-third decision-making, questioning his intelligence on the ball and even implying he might not be good enough for Celtic’s European ambitions.
Yes, You Read That Right.
Coming from a man who wore the shirt with pride and stood as a pillar of past glories, the comments struck a nerve. Social media erupted — hashtags like #SuttonOut and #BackMaeda started trending among angry Celtic fans.
“He’s Sounding More Like a Rangers Pundit Every Day!” — Furious Fan Reactions Pour In
Supporters didn’t hold back. One popular Celtic fan account tweeted:
“Chris Sutton is crossing the line. Maeda bleeds for this team every match — how dare he disrespect him like that after the effort he put in against Rangers?”
Another fan posted:
“We expect criticism, not betrayal. Sutton’s officially lost the dressing room with the fans.”
Is Sutton Out of Touch — or Just Telling the Brutal Truth?
Some say it’s brave punditry. Others are calling it sacrilege. Whatever the case, Sutton’s status as a fan favorite may have just evaporated overnight.
One Comment. One Player. One Pundit. TOTAL FANBASE MELTDOWN.
One comment. That’s all it took for Chris Sutton, once a darling of the Celtic faithful, to become public enemy number one in Glasgow’s green half.
Sutton’s Words Cut Deep
Rather than praising Maeda’s relentless energy, tireless tracking back, and unwavering fight against Rangers, Sutton tore into him live on air, claiming:
“He just doesn’t have the quality Celtic need going forward. He works hard, but you need more than that. There’s a real question about his end product.”
Instant Fan Rebellion
Within seconds, forums, fan groups, and social media platforms lit up like wildfire. Celtic Twitter was not having it. Here’s just a sample of the outrage:
- “Chris Sutton must have forgotten what it means to wear the Hoops. Embarrassing.”
- “Daizen Maeda is everything a Celtic player should be. Sutton sounds more like he’s on TalkSport than a former Bhoy.”
- “Imagine going after one of the few players who gave 110% in that match. Get in the bin, Sutton.”
Maeda: The Unsung Warrior
Celtic fans know what Daizen Maeda brings: blistering pace, pressing like a man possessed, and unselfish play that often goes unnoticed in stat sheets. In a match where tensions ran high and space was scarce, Maeda’s work rate was a crucial part of keeping Rangers under pressure.
To single him out, say supporters, is to completely miss the point of what it means to be Celtic.
Is Sutton Drifting Toward Anti-Celtic Media Narratives?
That’s the dangerous question now circulating. Fans who once clung to Sutton’s words as gospel are starting to view him as part of the media machine they often feel targets Celtic unfairly. And for Sutton — a man who’s never been shy with his opinions — this could be the start of a complete collapse in his relationship with the Parkhead faithful.
Final Verdict from the Fans?
“You don’t slate a soldier who fights for you just because he doesn’t score the winner. Sutton’s lost the plot — and the fans.”
One thing’s for sure: the fallout isn’t over.
Celtic fans don’t forget, and unless Sutton publicly walks back his comments, the days of him being seen as one of their own may be over.
