BBC Pundit Chris Sutton has slammed Liel Abada for diving in the most recent Celtic match and urged him to cut it out of his game.

What's the latest on Liel Abada and Celtic?

The Bhoys claimed their first piece of silverware for the season on the weekend as they beat bitter rivals Rangers to win the Scottish League Cup.

Indeed, a brace for Kyogo Furuhashi put Ange Postecoglou's side 2-0 up before the hour mark with Alfredo Morelos' effort unable to spark a comeback for Michael Beale and co.

Despite the win, it seems as though not every Celtic player got through the game without coming under some scrutiny. Indeed, substitute Abada came on for Jota shortly after Rangers' goal and caught the eye for all the wrong reasons.

While speaking about it on the BBC phone-in radio show 606, Sutton named the player as the winner of their weekly Simulation Game segment.

He said (01:08:55): “Liel Abada, I was there. Did you hear the anger within the commentary team that Liel Abada threw himself to the floor?

"So the second trophy that Celtic have won today, Liel Abada, you've won the trophy that you don't want to win.

"You're a talented young player. Your numbers are excellent. But just cut that out of your game, Liel. You're better than that.”

What has been made of Abada's Celtic cup final dive?

It seems as though Sutton wasn't the only one to notice the poor dive from the Celtic man. For instance, in the player ratings for the Irish News, journalist Gavin McCafferty noted: "Liel Abada's main contribution was an outrageous dive that saw him booked."

Evidently, it wasn't exactly the most exciting cameo from the bench from the attacker but at least he helped the Bhoys pick up a trophy. This is the third piece of silverware Abada has won in a Celtic shirt, having lifted the same trophy last year as well as the league title.

Despite not being a regular starter, the 21-year-old has still netted 11 goals and provided six assists across all competitions this season.

Clearly, the talent is there. However, he doesn't want to pick up the reputation as a diver so early on in his career, so he'd be wise to take Sutton's advice and cut it out of his game soon.
