Live studio cut off and video trending everywhere as Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton faces off in fresh dig regarding Rangers
The Scottish football punditry scene erupted once again on Sky Sports, as former Rangers striker Kris Boyd and ex-Celtic forward Chris Sutton clashed in a heated live studio debate that has since gone viral across social media.
The tension peaked during a discussion on the Scottish Premiership title race, particularly around Rangers’ performances and their rivalry dynamics with Celtic and surprise challengers Hearts. Sutton provocatively suggested that Rangers’ victory over Hearts had inadvertently “helped secure the title” for another side—implying it propped up Celtic’s dominance even when Rangers were in poor form—by keeping Hearts from closing the gap or altering the standings significantly.
Boyd, a fierce Rangers loyalist, reacted vehemently, rejecting the claim outright. He insisted the league title rightfully belongs to Rangers (“the league is theirs”), dismissing any notion that their results merely assisted rivals. Boyd argued passionately that Rangers’ quality and history position them as rightful contenders, not accidental helpers in someone else’s campaign.The exchange quickly escalated, with Sutton pushing further in what many viewers perceived as disrespectful jabs toward the club, questioning Rangers’ current standing and form. Boyd, visibly angered, defended his former side with intensity, accusing Sutton of bias and overstepping. The back-and-forth saw interruptions, raised voices, and classic pundit fireworks—Boyd reportedly cutting across Sutton at points, fueling the drama.
Clips of the confrontation spread rapidly online, racking up thousands of views on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and X, where fans from both Rangers and Celtic camps weighed in. Some praised Boyd’s fiery loyalty, while others accused Sutton of trolling. The incident highlights the enduring Old Firm rivalry that spills into media debates, keeping Scottish football passionate and unpredictable.In an era of tight title races involving Hearts as genuine threats, such studio showdowns remind us why the Premiership remains must-watch viewing.
