Erin Cuthbert, a Scotland Women’s star, was booed after coming off the bench for Chelsea in their Champions League match against Celtic, prompting the TNT Sports analyst to awkwardly explain why.

The two teams faced off on matchday four of Europe’s premier league, with the Blues coming from behind to win 2-1 at Parkhead last Wednesday. Cuthbert, who began her professional career with Rangers before switching to Glasgow City in 2015, was presented by Blues boss Sonia Bompastor to a chorus of boos from travelling Hoops fans inside the stadium early in the second half.

TNT Sports announcer Jacqui Oatley observed the jeers during the game and understood why the visiting supporters weren’t happy to see 72-time Scotland cap Cuthbert.
