In terms of pundits Stan Petrov isn’t the type to chase headlines with outrageous claims and a desperation for attention.
The Bulgarian has spent most of his life in the UK, taken Aston Villa and Celtic to his heart and delivers thoughtful analysis while still looking in good enough shape to play the game.
As a regular on Sky’s coverage of the Scottish game he knows what is involved with Kris Boyd squealing for attention away from his Village Idiot character on Sports Saturday where the other pundits just smirk and laugh at his lack of knowledge which is matched by his hysterical reaction to the most mundane.
Put Boydy inside Celtic Park and a different character emerges, watching the hoops routinely slapping their Glasgow rivals around raises his blood pressure to unhealthy levels.
And when Chris Sutton offers him a hug or a Huddle it is known to spark a near complete meltdown.
We were googling for a good phycological mentor to calm him down. It was hectic in the studio? https://t.co/vEdzlegOrC

The once smiley-smiley Boyd is becoming a more distant memory, the dream job of life in the meejar has turned somewhat sour as he gets a ringside seat at the most dominant era in Scottish football- one that shows no sign of slowing down or burning itself out.
The Tribute Act that Boyd starred for in season 2014/15, scoring three goals in the Championship campaign that ended in a 6-1 Play Off defeat from Motherwell is just waiting to part company with their fourth manager in four years.
At the start of April Boyd was anticipating A Proper Football Manager delivering a treble, Phil Clement has the consolation of his pay off to look forward to but for Boyd there is 34 more rounds of misery on the horizon spent in the company of Sutton with social media ridicule his only relevance.
What’s that knuckle dragger McCullough doing holding a mike , have they really scraped through the bottom of the barrel to uncover this clown , more known for wrecking careers than pretending to be a footballer, this thick cunt makes kenny miller look like a genius, jobs for the sevco clowns right enough.
Jim M, if you look closely, you’ll see that the microphone is the security man’s hat in the background ????
