Kris Boyd has a habit of losing the plot over Celtic when doing punditry work on Sky Sports.
Boyd struggles to keep his composure and, at times, appears to come across as unprofessional whenever he talks about Celtic.
After Celtic beat Livingston yesterday, Boyd decided to give his expert opinion on the Champions League play-off draw with Kairat Almaty.
And in true Boyd fashion, he struggled to keep his composure as Celtic hero Chris Sutton put him straight after a bizarre rant about Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers.
Chris Sutton slaps down Kris Boyd’s barb at Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers
Sutton was taking aim at the Celtic Park powerbrokers over their handling of the transfer window when Boyd couldn’t wait to chip in.
Boyd said on Sky Sports, “He’s spent over £60m since he’s come back.”
Sutton: “Did they replace Kyogo adequately? You’re not answering the question, so you can throw these things out there.
“Have they replaced Kyogo? Have they replaced Nicolas Kuhn?”
Boyd: “So if you need players in those positions, why do you go and sign more midfielders when you’ve got them coming out of your ears.”
Sutton: “That’s actually irrelevant. It’s totally irrelevant. What’s the net spend?”
Boyd: “It doesn’t matter what the net spend. It doesn’t matter. The Celtic board have backed him with over £60m that Brendan Rogers has spent. And he’s immune to criticism.”
Sutton: “The team didn’t play well…”
Boyd: “So why is the board getting it in the neck?”
Sutton: “Well, hang on a minute. Did Celtic adequately replace Kyogo? Answer yes or no.
Boyd: “No.”
Sutton: “Do they need wide players in? Did Brendan Rodgers want to start Adam Idah as a centre forward the other night, wheeling out James Forrest, who’s been a brilliant player for Celtic but asking him to play game after game after game, that’s ridiculous.
“The Nicolas Kuhn thing was absolute madness. They could have just told him to wait. He would have understood that other clubs do it. So why can’t Celtic?”
Chris Sutton nails it with his comments about Celtic’s ‘ridiculous’ transfer window
Sutton just sums up how many Celtic fans are feeling about the transfer window and the neglect of the Hoops first-team.
Boyd, as usual, completely misses the point about the fans targeting the Celtic board as he shows just how out of touch, and how he has no real business talking about the Hoops’ fans’ feelings.
With Celtic closing in on Michel-Ange Balikwisha, hopefully the board are taking strides to deliver the players Brendan Rodgers wants.
If not to appease the fans, but to at least stop Boyd’s inane Celtic ramblings for at least one week.
