Watch: Chris Sutton's SPFL Team Of The Season Sparked Outrage On BT Sport

Chris Sutton is a former Celtic and Chelsea striker, a BT Sport and BBC pundit, and an absolute expert at making other pundits lose their cool on live TV.

And we love him for it.

On Friday night before Hearts vs Aberdeen, the 'Scottish Football Extra' panel were tasked with picking their team of the season, and after poking holes in the agurments of Michael Stewart and Stephen Craigan's teams in his trademark style, we knew there was going to be a backlash.

But we didn't know it would be this heated. It turns out that personal XI's of the season are taken very seriously over in Scotland, as by picking no fewer than nine Celtic players in his 11, Sutton sparked outrage, from Craigan in particular.

And he just sat back, smiled, and drank it all in.

You can tell that Craigan really, really doesn't like him, and tries desperately hard to make it seem that Sutton doesn't bother him.

As for the team itself, we of course would have liked to see Johnny Hayes included, but his reasoning that Celtic are 16 points clear at the top is a solid one, even if it's harsh to standout players from the other teams.

Still, we won't argue with his selection because; a) He might see it and make us his next victim, and b) He gives us moments like that with regularity.

Keep doing your thing Chris Sutton.
