Fresh controversy has exploded across Scottish football after alleged leaked footage involving Kris Boyd behind the scenes at Sky Sports studios surfaced online following Celtic’s dramatic Premiership title victory.
The former Rangers striker, who has repeatedly criticised several controversial decisions involving Celtic this season, is now at the centre of another viral storm after clips allegedly captured his explosive reaction away from the live cameras.
According to fans spreading the footage online, Boyd did not hold back while discussing Celtic’s route to the title behind closed doors.
The Rangers legend allegedly claimed Celtic had “scammed their way” to the league crown following the massive controversy surrounding the late VAR-awarded penalty against Motherwell earlier in the week.
That incident saw Celtic awarded a dramatic stoppage-time penalty after Motherwell’s Sam Nicholson was judged to have handled the ball inside the box following a VAR review.
Kelechi Iheanacho converted the spot-kick to seal a huge 3-2 victory, a result many supporters and pundits believed completely changed the momentum of the title race before the final showdown with Hearts.
The leaked footage allegedly shows Boyd venting frustration over the decision while claiming the title race effectively ended the moment that penalty was awarded.
According to supporters reacting online, Boyd allegedly suggested Celtic arriving at Parkhead needing only a win against Hearts made the outcome “predictable” given the atmosphere, pressure and circumstances surrounding the fixture.
The clips spreading online have sparked huge reactions across social media, with many Celtic fans accusing Boyd of bitterness, while Rangers and Hearts supporters claimed he was “finally saying the truth out loud.”
The footage reportedly emerged shortly after Sky Sports wrapped up coverage of Celtic’s chaotic title-winning victory over Hearts.
That game itself descended into controversy after late goals from Daizen Maeda and Callum Osmand completed a dramatic comeback before thousands of supporters flooded onto the pitch.
Police Scotland later confirmed investigations were underway following reports that Hearts players and staff were allegedly assaulted during the disorder.
Online reaction to Boyd’s alleged comments has been explosive, with some supporters claiming his frustration reflected wider anger across Scottish football regarding several officiating decisions during the season.
The Motherwell penalty incident continues to dominate debate, especially after pundits including Ally McCoist openly criticised the decision in the days following the match.
Meanwhile, further controversy surrounded Daizen Maeda’s role in Celtic’s decisive late goal against Hearts, with some fans arguing the Japanese forward interfered with play in the build-up.
The leaked footage has now only intensified accusations and conspiracy claims surrounding Celtic’s league triumph, with supporters from rival clubs flooding social media with reactions.
Several users claimed Boyd looked “absolutely raging” while discussing the situation, while others joked the former Rangers striker “finally exploded” after weeks of holding back frustration on live television.
As the footage continued spreading online overnight, neither Sky Sports nor Boyd had publicly commented on the authenticity of the clips.
But one thing is certain — the fallout from Celtic’s controversial title victory is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down.
