Champions League Exit Quip
Following Celtic’s elimination from the Champions League after a hard-fought match against Bayern Munich, Boyd made a remark that many perceived as classless. During a live broadcast on Sky Sports, he stated:
“I’ve never been so delighted to see the ball hit the back of the Celtic net in all my life!”
This comment was widely criticized by Celtic supporters, who viewed it as petty and unprofessional.
Jota’s Emotional Return
In another instance, Boyd commented on former Celtic player Jota’s emotional reaction after scoring against his old club. Analyzing the goal, Boyd quipped:
“The only thing missing from that pass from Maeda was a box of tissues.”
This attempt at humor was met with backlash from fans who felt it was insensitive to Jota’s evident emotions.
Criticism of Celtic’s Performance
Boyd has also been vocal about Celtic’s performances in domestic competitions. Following a 3-0 defeat to Rangers in an Old Firm derby, he criticized Celtic’s approach, suggesting that manager Brendan Rodgers’ previous bullish press conference came back to bite the team.

While his critiques are often rooted in his allegiance to Rangers, they have sometimes been perceived as lacking impartiality, leading to criticism from Celtic supporters.
