Kris Boyd has a pop at Celtic fans over coin throwing incident

Jack O'Toole

Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd has condemned supporters who threw a coin at him during Celtic’s 1-0 win over Kilmarnock on Sunday.

Scott Brown smashed home a late winner to seal a vital away win for Celtic who extended their lead over Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table to eight points.

However, the match was soured when Boyd was hit by a coin and he remarked on his Instagram account after the match that he thought those days in British football were over.

We’re lead to believe they’re the Greatest Fans in the World!!!???? Wrecking seats, flares and invading the park! Oh, and in case anyone didn’t know, I’m just a fat ORANGE (it must just be my favourite colour) b***tard. The shouts and abuse I can handle as a bit of banter?even tho if others it would be sectarianism? Getting hit with a coin, though, is a step too far. Don’t worry, I wasn’t injured but if it doesn’t stop someone will end up with a bad injury. Thought those days in ???? football were over??‍♂️
