AliousKris Boyd Jokes About ‘Play Until Celtic Score’ After Another Dramatic Hoops WinnerFormer Rangers striker Kris Boyd could not resist a cheeky dig at Celtic after the champions snatched yet another stoppage-time victory — their third dramatic late goal in the space of a week.
Celtic left it until the 97th minute at Rugby Park to complete a stunning 3-2 comeback against Kilmarnock, with Julian Araujo firing home the decisive strike deep into added time. The dramatic finish followed a last-gasp equaliser in the Scottish Cup tie against Dundee, as well as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s late winner versus Livingston earlier in the week.Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann was furious at full-time, questioning where seven minutes of added time had come from and suggesting officials had been overly generous.
The late goal left him visibly frustrated as his side were denied a hard-earned point.Boyd, however, responded with a grin while crunching the numbers on Sky Sports.
The Rangers hero pointed out that three substitutions were made at half-time — implying they could not logically have contributed to second-half stoppage time.
In typical tongue-in-cheek fashion, he quipped that perhaps the officials should simply hold up the board reading: “Play until Celtic score.”Despite the joke, Boyd also sounded a note of caution for the Hoops.
He warned that continually relying on late drama is a risky habit, stressing that failing to convert chances earlier in matches can invite pressure and belief from opponents.
He acknowledged that Celtic are still creating opportunities but argued their inefficiency in front of goal is allowing teams to grow in confidence.
Against Kilmarnock, he felt momentum shifted after the substitutions, but he insisted the Ayrshire side could take plenty of positives from their performance.
Boyd concluded that McCann should be proud of both his team’s display and the impact he has made since taking charge, suggesting Kilmarnock showed enough quality and resilience to trouble any side — even if they ultimately fell victim to another Celtic stoppage-time sting.
