Chris Sutton has poked fun at Rangers in a cheeky response to a Tottenham fan on social media.

The Celtic hero hit back at a Spurs fan on Twitter in his usual jovial fashion.

In the ex-Chelsea and Blackburn striker's BBC Sport preview of this weekend's North London Derby, he didn't hold out much hope for Antonio Conte's men. 

His prediction for the game reads: "Harry Kane won't score, Tottenham won't score. Arsenal are going to wipe the floor with them."

This provoked a reaction from one Spurs supporter online - who was far from happy with Sutton's thoughts.

And he even called for the club to ban the 49-year-old from The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for life.

Quoting the original tweet, Sutton fired a cheeky reply. He said: "A lifetime ban would be excessive for a score prediction… don’t turn into Rangers…"

The former Hoops star is of course referring to his ban at Ibrox which was imposed around September 2021.

Meanwhile, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors boss Kim Sang-shik has given the clearest indication yet that Celtic target Cho Gue-Sung will leave his club imminently and admits it will break his heart to see him go.

The Hoops lead the race to sign the South Korean World Cup star ahead of MLS side Minnesota United and Bundesliga outfit Mainz.

And his club manager has broken his silence on the future of Kim, ahead of their return to training before a series of friendlies arranged before the start of the K League next month and revealed the bidding war has started.

Kim said: "Sadly, I don't think it will be too long before Cho leaves us.

"As a manager, I want my best players for the new season and I need them to help us challenge for the league.

"Cho is receiving a lot of attention for his good performance in the World Cup and it is true that another club has actually made an official offer to sign him."
