Chris Sutton delivered a brutal dig at Kris Boyd following Celtic's victory over Rangers in today's derby showdown.
The Scottish champions ran out 2-1 winners with Callum McGregor and Kyogo Furuhashi grabbing goals at a packed-out Parkhead.
It was mixed emotions amongst the Sky Sports pundit team and Sutton could not resist having a pop at Boyd at the full-time whistle.
He said: "Can Kris Boyd keep writing Kyogo off please? Keep writing him off!"
Boyd then responded: "Who wrote him off mate? It is a game of opinions.
"You have a lot of opinions on whether referees give penalties to some teams and not others. Enjoy the cold. See you soon."
Sutton was referencing Boyd's comments during the Edinburgh derby in midweek when he stated that Lawrence Shankland is the best finisher in Scotland.
On Shankland's winner, Boyd said: "I have spoken about Kyogo in this league in terms of the different types of strikers.
"Kyogo couldn't finish that. His finishing is unbelievable and for me, he is the best in the league."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
