Kris Boyd has found himself right at the centre of another social media storm after unseen footage from Sky Sports studios went viral following Celtic’s dramatic title-winning afternoon against Hearts.
The former Rangers striker, who has built a reputation over the years for his outspoken criticism of Celtic, was caught in what many supporters online are calling a complete “meltdown” after the chaotic scenes surrounding the Scottish Premiership title decider at Parkhead.
Celtic sealed a fifth consecutive league title after late goals from Daizen Maeda and Callum Osmand turned the match on its head in dramatic fashion. But while celebrations erupted across the east end of Glasgow, Boyd appeared visibly furious during Sky Sports’ post-match coverage.
The unseen footage, which quickly spread across X, TikTok and Facebook overnight, allegedly shows Boyd throwing his hands in frustration while reacting to discussions surrounding Celtic’s controversial VAR decisions this season.
Fans online immediately claimed the former Rangers forward “completely lost his head” after the panel revisited the Motherwell penalty controversy, Daizen Maeda’s debated winner against Hearts, and the chaotic pitch invasion scenes that followed full-time.
At one stage during the broadcast, Boyd appeared irritated as other pundits attempted to move the discussion toward Celtic’s title celebrations and achievement across the season.
Social media exploded within minutes of the footage surfacing, with clips gathering hundreds of thousands of views and supporters from both sides weighing in.
Some Celtic fans mocked Boyd for what they described as “pure bitterness” after Celtic escaped several huge controversies to lift the title, while Rangers supporters backed the pundit for “saying what everyone else is afraid to say.”
The viral reaction became even bigger after Boyd was seen shaking his head while footage of Celtic’s controversial moments played on the studio screens.
Online users quickly linked his reaction to the ongoing debate surrounding several massive decisions that benefited Celtic throughout the campaign, including the late VAR-awarded penalty against Motherwell and the debate surrounding Daizen Maeda’s involvement in the title-clinching goal against Hearts.
One clip circulating online showed Boyd sitting in silence while the panel discussed whether Hearts were unfortunate not to receive more stoppage time after the pitch invasion chaos forced referee Don Robertson to end proceedings.
Another moment appeared to show the Sky Sports pundit sarcastically laughing while fellow analysts praised Celtic’s mentality under pressure.
The footage has now sparked another fierce online war between Celtic and Rangers supporters, with many claiming Boyd’s visible frustration perfectly captured how dramatic and controversial Celtic’s title triumph had become.
Despite the viral reaction, Boyd has yet to publicly comment on the clips spreading online.
However, the footage has only added more fuel to what has already become one of the most chaotic and controversial Scottish Premiership title finishes in recent memory.
