Chris Sutton suggests that Celtic are a bigger club than Leicester City.

Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has suggested on social networking site Twitter that Celtic are a bigger club than Leicester City.

The former Celtic striker has acknowledged Leicester’s remarkable achievement last season, but the Englishman believes that the Bhoys are a bigger club globally.

Finishing above the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur is not easy.

The Foxes did not have a single world-class footballer in their squad, but they still managed to win what is a very competitive domestic league.

However, there can be no doubt that Celtic are a far bigger club than Leicester are.

The Glasgow giants have a global fanbase that would compete with the likes of United and Liverpool.

True, Brendan Rodgers’s side are playing in a league in which they are head and shoulders above the rest, but when it comes to the history, the passion of the supporters and global appeal, Celtic are far bigger than Leicester.
