Kris Boyd aims a cheap shot at Celtic fans

There is a reason Celtic fans seriously dislike Kris Boyd. Well there are many reasons, but the main one is his complete inability to perform as a professional and impartial pundit.

Even fans of other clubs dislike the guy.

If he’s not taking snide pot shots at Celtic, he is downplaying the Scottish game.

Boyd once claimed that no great players come from Scotland which is ironic  since there have been many players that have graced our game and went down south to become stars.

Plus isn’t it ironic that the man chose to make that particular comment especially as he made his name in the country? Brass neck and blow torch springs to mind.

However, today, after Celtic’s 2-1 victory over Aberdeen, Boyd chose to start his analysis of the game not by praising a great team winning goal by Jota. Not by talking about Aberdeen’s comeback and decent attacking play.

Instead, he chose to take a swipe at the Celtic fans in his usual unprofessional and snarky manner.

Speaking this afternoon, after being asked about Celtic finding a way to win away from home,  Boyd said, “Especially since the 14th February was the last time they won away. The fans were excited were a little bit excited there. They’ve not had to celebrate like that for a while especially on the road.”

Unnecessary and uncalled for but classic Boyd.

But then nothing is out of bounds for the former Rangers and Kilmarnock striker as just last week he targeted on loan Hoops striker, Leigh Griffiths and warned him to expect karma from the Rangers fans in a national article just hours before he faced them at Dens Park.

How he got this gig on Sky Sports is a complete mystery to me and an embarrassment to them.
