Chris Sutton has named Scott Brown in his Scottish Premiership Team of the Week.

Celtic icon Chris Sutton has named Scott Brown in his Scottish Premiership Team of the Week on Twitter, but Hoops fans are not happy.

Hoops captain Brown, 32, starred for Brendan Rodgers’ side on Sunday afternoon as the Bhoys maintained their unbeaten record and stretched it to 68 games following a 2-2 draw away at Easter Road against Hibernian.

Scott Brown of Celtic is seen during the UEFA Champions League group B match between Celtic FC and RSC Anderlecht at Celtic Park on December 5, 2017 in Glasgow, United Kingdom.

Sutton instead named former Hoops defender Efe Ambrose as well as impressive young midfielder John McGinn for their displays for Neil Lennon’s Hibernian, as Scott Sinclair’s brace was cancelled out thanks to goals from Ambrose and Oli Shaw.

Posting on Twitter, BT Sport pundit Sutton named only Brown alongside Aberdeen trio Joe Lewis, Scott McKenna and Ryan Christie – who is on loan at Pittodrie from Celtic – as well as Hearts stars Christophe Berra, Prince Buaben and Kyle Lafferty.

Sutton failed to mention any Rangers stars in his side despite their third successive win against Ross County at Ibrox, which saw them come from behind to beat Owen Coyle’s side thanks to goals from Alfredo Morelos and Danny Wilson.

Celtic fans react to Sutton’s side, stating that they believe they should have had more players in the team including the likes of French midfielder Olivier Ntcham and two-goal ace Sinclair.
