Celtic striker Chris Sutton has again kicked off a war of words with wrestling champion Drew McIntyre.

The pair have tangled on social media in the past and Sutton poked fun at the WWE star after his appearance on a promotional video for BT Sport.

Rangers fan Drew, from Prestwick in Ayrshire, narrates the preview ahead of the Europa League last 16 against Slavia Prague – but Sutton branded it “embarassing” on Twitter.

He wrote: “Deary me one decent season in a decade and they are all out in force. Bit embarrassing this from little @DMcIntyreWWE in his speedos.”

McIntyre previously tweeted congratulations to the Premiership champions, and was backed up by his fellow global superstar Triple H.

Speaking to The Scotsman in November, the football fan celebrated Scotland’s Euro2020 qualification and insisted his side would win the league title.

In the stirring promo – where the Florida-based muscle-man appears to be wearing a Rangers away shirt, McIntyre says: “The fight for glory never ends. It’s a way of life.

“For Rangers Football Club our comeback is now complete. Glasgow is red, white and blue – we are the champions, our 55th title – done. Can you see us now?

"Now in Europe we dare to dream at fortress Ibrox en route to Gdansk, so a warning to all – Rangers are coming. For our road to greatness is eternal, our fight for glory, it never ends.”

Earlier this week Rangers kit-makers Castore also posted ‘Can you see us now?’ on billboards around the city celebrating the title win.
