They capitulated- Kris Boyd claims that he has recovered from his Celtic Park meltdown

Kris Boyd is insisting that he has fully recovered from his post match meltdown following the Glasgow Derby.

After watching Celtic win 3-0 Boyd initially tried to brush the result aside as going to form and apply his media logic.

A few digs from Chris Sutton, James McFadden and Stan Petrov were all that it took for Boyd to lose it as he slammed every aspect of his old club and described them as embarrassing.

It made for fantastic viewing as the real angry, dejected Boyd emerged knowing that he will be watching ringside every week as Celtic chase their 55th Scottish title.

Boyd continued his meltdown on the Monday on a follow up with Sky Sports and in a video with The Sun, 12 days later he is trying too hard to claim that he has got over watching Celtic win the Glasgow Derby for the fifth time in a calendar year.

Picking up on a podcast the Daily Record reports Boyd saying:

I was over it straight away.

When you look at it, just the way the game materialised and panned out you look at Rangers and they have just not been able to lay a glove on Celtic over a number of games now. They started really well and Celtic obviously got that goal that was chopped off, and Rangers then capitulated. It would be a worry.

You are saying to yourself ‘where are your characters, where is the leaders that are going to stand up?’, because going to a cauldron like that – there have been better teams than this one just now that have gone to Celtic and folded – but you have got to at least see that fight. I thought for large periods of that game there wasn’t.

If Celtic can beat Hearts tomorrow it means that Boyd will be previewing Sunday’s match away to Dundee United with Phil Clement’s side trailing the SPFL leaders by eight points.

NOTE: No points or trophies are awarded for starting matches really well.
