Chris Sutton couldn't resist a cheeky dig at Kris Boyd as Celtic geared up for Scottish Premiership title celebrations.
The Parkhead hero mocked pundit pal Boyd with a giant cardboard cut-out at Celtic Park.
Boyd was not on the panel for Sky Sports at Parkhead with James McFadden, Neil Lennon and Sutton joining Eilidh Barbour in the studio.
🤣 "I know he wanted to come and celebrate Celtic's title."

However, Sutton made sure Boyd made an appearance of some sort as he whipped out a giant cut-out of the pundit to wave in the studio.
Ahead of walking up to the gantry for co-commentary duties, Sutton held aloft a giant print of Boyd as he mocked the Rangers hero over Celtic's title success.
Sutton joked:Â "Here is my replacement, I knew he wanted to come and celebrate Celtic's title success.
"Here he is Boydy, 'The Rangers are coming'."

McFadden chimed in: "That is the most sense Boydy has spoken all season!"
Meanwhile, unofficial fan group the Green Brigade sent out a call-to-arms ahead of the late-night title party in midweek – and has announced further plans for this Saturday, following the Parkhead side's league encounter at home to St Mirren.

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!
