Former Rangers striker turned Sky Sports pundit Kris Boyd was left fuming after Nicolas Kühn wasn’t sent off for celebrating a late winner with the Hoops supporters, despite already being on a yellow card.
Boyd, known for his post-match meltdowns, was at it again after Celtic’s late fightback left the Ibrox cheerleader infuriated.
He said: (Sky Sports), “Fantastic finish from Nicolas Kuhn as well. Obviously you can just run into the crowd and celebrate now as well nothing happens.”
It was common sense from referee Kevin Clancy not to send off Kühn, as emotions clearly got the better of the Hoops winger in running straight to the supporters who had made the long trip to Dingwall in an emotional moment for all.
With Boyd looking to ruin any positivity over a hard-fought win by making strange comments about Kevin Clancy’s decision, it’s not a good look for the pundit to be calling out an official after such a great decision.
Most sides would hope a referee would make the same call if they scored a late winner with a player already on a booking.
Clancy is often criticised like all officials, but he certainly deserves some credit for his common-sense approach to refereeing this afternoon’s win.
