Celtic hero Chris Sutton couldn't resist a jibe at Rangers hero Kris Boyd as he weighed in on Roy Keane's post-match confrontation with a supporter.
Former Manchester United captain Keane - now working as a pundit for Sky Sports - clashed with an Ipswich Town fan at the side of the pitch on Sunday.
Viral clips on social media show Keane and the fan in animated discussion following the 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Ipswich.
In Scotland at Sky we offer cuddles in car parks…👇👇 https://t.co/iGhN5moUVO

There had been speculation over the pair meeting in the car park to further discuss their issue after the angry scenes just a few feet away from the Sky Sports cameras.
Sutton, though, joked he was more familiar with offering a cuddle in the car park rather than any confrontation - in a throwback to his jibe at Boyd.
The Celtic hero had offered Boyd a cuddle after Rangers slipped up to Kilmarnock and Celtic moved clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
In a callback, Sutton posted: "In Scotland at Sky we offer cuddles in car parks…"

Sutton was not making light of the Keane situation, though, as he revealed he faces similar shouts from angry supporters almost every week.
On the 'It's All Kicking Off' podcast, he said: "Virtually every week that I work I would take similar to that. Absolutely, I do.
"On the flip side of that there are also a hell of a lot of nice people out there.
"There is the other side to that and it is a weekly occurrence but you just have to swot it off, bat it off, not be so thin-skinned.
"Roy Keane obviously felt that the guy was over thew top and put him on the back foot offering him out in the car park."
