Chris Sutton comments on Celtic forward Oliver Burke

Popular football pundit Chris Sutton says it is ‘very difficult’ for Oliver Burke to play as a centre-forward after Celtic suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss in the first leg of their last 32 clash against Spanish side Valencia on Thursday night.

Goals from Denis Cheryshev and Ruben Sobrino gave Valencia a healthy lead, and Celtic now face a monumental task of winning the tie in the second leg at Mestella.

Burke, who joined the Hoops in the January transfer window on loan from West Bromwich Albion, came under strong criticism from Sutton.
