Former Celtic hero Chris Sutton says Gordon Strachan was 'odd' and 'a little bit weird' during his stint as Parkhead boss.
Strachan replaced Martin O'Neill in the dugout in Glasgow's east end in the summer of 2005.
While he went on to win three league titles in a row with Celtic, including three domestic cups, Sutton, who played just under 200 times for the club, reckons he was strange.
Indeed, Sutton left Celtic just six months after Strachan joined and has recently revealed how he thought the manager was a peculiar figure: "I thought he was odd, a little bit weird," he said on BBC's Monday Night Club.

"He turned me over over a contract situation, and that's basically it, really.
"We didn't see eye to eye, so I ended up leaving."
Despite their poor previous relationship while at Celtic, when together now, the pair remain on good terms: "We get on now," said Sutton.
"Gordon did well at Celtic. He did. I have to say that. I wasn't with him long enough to know that he was a good coach, but he did very well at Celtic."
As well as winning numerous titles and cups, Strachan led Celtic into the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League twice, although his side fell to AC Milan and Barcelona on both occasions.
After leaving Parkhead in 2009, the now 67-year-old went on to manage Scotland after a short stint at Middlesbrough but failed to guide the national team into a major tournament.
