Chris Sutton has branded Livingston's artificial pitch as an "embarrassment".
The Celtic hero slaughtered the surface as he labelled the pitch a "monstrosity".
Sky Sports pundit Sutton pulled no punches as he admitted he would be "glad" not to see the pitch in the top flight.
Very comfortable for Celtic in the end. Great news to see Hatate back and for Carter-Vickers to seemingly come through 90 minutes. Livingston offered very little and I’ll be glad never to see their monstrosity of a pitch in the top flight again… it’s an embarrassment

Sutton's comments came in the wake of Celtic's 3-0 triumph over Livingston on Sunday.
Brendan Rodgers' side overcame a stubborn defence to claim victory and move back top of the Scottish Premiership table.
However, the defeat left Livingston still rooted to the bottom of the table with just three wins all season.

And Sutton wasted little time in consolation over Livingston's relegation predicament with the club ten points behind Ross County in 11th.
Instead, the Celtic hero savagely remarked on the astroturf surface at Livingston's stadium and vowed he'd be pleased not to see it in the top flight should the club be relegated this season.
On X, formerly Twitter, Sutton stated: "Very comfortable for Celtic in the end.
"Great news to see Hatate back and for Carter-Vickers to seemingly come through 90 minutes.
"Livingston offered very little and I’ll be glad never to see their monstrosity of a pitch in the top flight again… it’s an embarrassment"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
