Watch Chris Sutton trashing Kris Boyd’s bold prediction

Six weeks and five games ago Kris Boyd gave his boldest prediction- Russell Martin was taking the SPFL Premiership trophy to Ibrox.

Over the last 14 years in the media spotlight the former Kilmarnock ace has watched Celtic dominate, smashing every record in the books with Brendan Rodgers the driving force.

Half a dozen Ibrox Revolutions have been promised, Boyd bought into every one of them, investing emotionally each time only to end up looking like the Village Idiot as he discusses the annual autumn managerial hunt.

The Russell Revolution looks like being the shortest ever, 12 matches have produced three wins, none out of five in the SPFL as they sit in 10th place in what is apparently a two horse race.

Every appearance at a Scottish football ground is torture for Boyd, the laughs and jokes have dried up with his Sky Sports colleagues revelling in his pain.

In contrast Chris Sutton is loving it, being alongside Boyd on a Sunday is the easiest part of his media diary.

Boyd was at Ibrox on Saturday watching Hearts pile on the misery for Russell Martin, to the dismay of the home support he wasn’t sacked in the morning.

Martin will be at Murray Park this morning watching over the players having their museli breakfast followed by extra yoga classes to put things right.

The days of scoffing Monster Munch are long gone, just like the trophies won with ineligible players being paid into offshore trusts.

This weekend attention turns to the League Cup, with Hibs visiting Fortress Ibrox it is unlikely that Boyd will be grinning away to the Sky Sports cameras as his treble hopes are killed off for another season.
