The Sun has shot down Kris Boyd’s stoppage time conspiracy.
According to the former Kilmarnock ace match officials are under instructions to continue playing until Celtic score.
It is a conspiracy backed up by his EBT buddie Neil McCann.
Three times in eight days Celtic scored beyond the 90th minute. Seeing off Livingston and Dundee in the SPFL and forcing extra-time against Dundee in the Scottish Cup.
Boyd has suffered through each of those late goals.
BOYD IN DESPAIR
Soon after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlian scored against Livingston he was watching Stephen Welsh score an equaliser for 10 man Motherwell against Boyd’s old club.
While he tries to present himself as a fun loving cheeky chappy on Sky Sports most can see through that image.
Boyd detests Celtic. And Celtic fans. Every Celtic goal, victory and trophy win causes him deep distress.
His cosy media career has become a living nightmare as he looks on at the hoops winning 13 of the last 14 SPFL titles.
Celtic have now surpassed the combined trophy count of the both Ibrox clubs. Despite the handicap of paying full Income Tax and National Insurance on player earnings.
Do Celtic, Rangers or another team get the most added time in the Scottish Premiership? ?

Despite Boyd’s claims/banter/lies Celtic have had the second least amount of stoppage time added to their games.
Livingston top the table with an average of 8.08 minutes added per game. The Ibrox Tribute Act have had 8.02 minutes added per match.
With just 7.03 minutes added to the regulation 90 minutes Celtic have had the second least amount of stoppage time. Only Motherwell have had less.
Boyd’s other most recent campaign was to get Celtic players sent off. Steven McLean and John Beaton responded to that in last month’s2-2 draw at Tynecastle.
Boyd and Sky Sports haven’t issued any comment on the 85th minute Brad Lyons handball that denied Celtic a penalty away to Kilmarnock.

No idea where these numbers come from, or why 45+ added time is relevant for a conspiracy theory about 90+ goals – but what the hell, I‘ll bite!
Of the top four, it’s Rangers who avg. the highest 90+ added time per match, both in general & specifically when chasing a goal. https://t.co/jHNdgRBYBY pic.twitter.com/nfr2JsxlaZ

Maybe we have so much added time because of all the fouls we give away during our 80% possession.
This would also explain why we don’t get as many pens against, cis most of the action is outside our box, but u try to explain that to a hate filled zombie.
Yeah, don’t piss down our backs then tell it’s raining!
Lol FATMAN he does more greetin than a Christmas card,long may it continue,it obviously keeps him awake at night us living rent free in his head,long may it continue.
Who will have the most penalties this season…
Probably Fu**in Sevco !
HaHaHa, imagine being trashed by The Sun, FFS!
That really says it all about Boyd.
