The long-standing rivalry between Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton reached a boiling point this week, sending social media into a frenzy after a particularly heated exchange on Sky Sports. The “viral” moment occurred during a live post-match analysis where Boyd, a Rangers icon, appeared to lose his composure following a provocative comment from Sutton regarding the current state of affairs at Ibrox.
​The tension escalated when Sutton, known for his acerbic wit and Celtic leanings, delivered a stinging jab about Rangers’ lack of leadership and their “predictable” tactical failures. Boyd, who has been increasingly vocal about his frustrations with the Gers’ recent performances, finally snapped. He lambasted Sutton’s take as “disrespectful nonsense,” leading to a minute of high-decibel television that saw host Eilidh Barbour struggling to maintain order.
​”Rangers don’t have any leaders. They can kid themselves all they want… it was embarrassing,” Boyd previously noted, but this time his ire was directed squarely at his sparring partner.
​The clip has since racked up millions of views, with fans divided between praising Boyd’s passion and mocking his visible exasperation. While the duo’s “cuddle in the car park” banter usually softens their on-air blows
