Kris Boyd has become the butt of viral mockery after Celtic clinched the Premiership title on Saturday, pulling level with Rangers’ long-standing record of 55 league championships.
A resurfaced clip of Boyd and his Sky Sports punditry rival Chris Sutton from 11 months ago has exploded online, with Sutton’s four-word jibe — “Give it a year” — aging to brutal perfection.
Last season, as Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side closed in on their 54th title, Sutton couldn’t resist needling Rangers’ dominance, quipping that the Hoops would soon match the Gers’ celebrated total. In the exchange, Boyd argued: “This club is built on winning league championships and they are going to have to get back to that,” only for Sutton to coolly fire back: “Not in recent times.” When Boyd clung to Rangers’ then-record, saying, “Still won the most,” Sutton landed the killer blow: “Give it a year.”
Fast forward to today, and Sutton’s taunt has come true. Celtic’s triumph leaves Rangers 17 points adrift with four matches left, capping off a miserable season for the Ibrox side. Barry Ferguson, in interim charge after Philippe Clement’s dismissal, has failed to reignite Rangers’ challenge, highlighted by the 2-2 draw at St Mirren where they twice let a lead slip.
Sensing an opportunity, Sky Sports — employers of both Boyd and Sutton — posted a savage video on TikTok, replaying the infamous exchange before cutting to scenes of Celtic’s celebrations, all set to the ironic main theme from Curb Your Enthusiasm. The clip has amassed nearly 15,000 likes and over 2,600 comments, many from jubilant Celtic fans relishing Boyd’s discomfort.
Comments flooded in: “Sky Sports taking the mick out of Kris Boyd”, “I can’t stop watching this”, and “Well played Sky Sports” were just a few, with others wondering aloud how Boyd must be feeling watching Sutton’s prophecy play out in front of the entire football world.
