Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers were smashed 5-0 by their Old Firm rivals on Sunday.
Chris Sutton has blamed Daniel Candeias for the first goal that Rangers conceded in Sunday’s 5-0 demolition by Celtic at Parkhead.
The Portuguese winger was embarrassed by Celtic star Kieran Tierney who turned him inside out en route to setting up Odsonne Edouard for the opener on 14 minutes.
That set the tone for the rest of the half, with further goals from Edouard and James Forrest opening up an unassailable 3-0 lead at the break.
Candeias, 30, caused quite a scene in Rangers’ Scottish Cup defeat by Celtic at Hampden earlier this month by storming down the tunnel after being substituted by Graeme Murty.
And Sutton has made his feelings on the former Benfica man perfectly clear.
It’s been a dreadful few weeks for Candeias on a personal level, but those two games against Celtic aside, he has been brilliant for Rangers this season.
He joined the Gers last summer under Pedro Caixinha and although his compatriot got a lot of things wrong in last summer’s transfer window, Candeias is definitely one of the players that he got right.
