Kris Boyd is never far away from the spotlight.
In recent months it's been him that has been trolled by his colleagues and pundits alike for Rangers' displays.
So it was only right for the former Light Blues striker to aim a cheap shot while Celtic were losing 7-1 to Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League.
Brendan Rodgers’ team were 5-1 down at the break after being punished by their hosts.
And it was to continue in the second half with Celtic failing to add more respect to the scoreline.

In a playful jab at his old fierce rivals’ woes, Boyd took to Instagram, sharing a photo of a yellow wall accompanied by a series of shocked emojis.
He followed this with additional story posts, including one featuring Rodgers and Borussia Dortmund manager Nuri Sahin after the match, captioned: "Please let the players know they’re the best team we’ve faced this season."
And there’s no doubt that’s the Rangers hero letting the Celtic boss know that he hasn’t forgotten about his comments following the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final win over Falkirk, in which Rodgers provided a similar remark about his Scottish Championship opponents.
He then ended it using some witty humour with a photoshopped image of him among Dortmund’s iconic Yellow Wall, stating: “I will be back. Loved my trip @bvb09.”
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!
