Chris Sutton reacts as Sky Sports troll Boyd about Celtic's 55th title

Sky Sports couldn't resist trolling Kris Boyd after Celtic secured the Scottish Premiership title at the weekend. 

Brendan Rodgers' men defeated Dundee United by five goals to nil at Tannadice on Saturday to wrap up their 55th league championship. 

It brought them level on titles with city rivals Rangers, which Sky poked fun at.

Indeed, they resurrected footage from 12 months ago, when Boyd argued with Sutton live on air. Boyd claimed that Rangers had still won the most leagues out of the two clubs, although Sutton promptly stated, 'Give it a year.' 

A year has since passed, and the Englishman has proved correct. Reacting on X, he wrote: "I hate saying I was right but..."

Celtic now turn their attention to the Scottish Cup after wrapping up their fourth consecutive title at the weekend. 

Brendan Rodgers' men are on course to win a treble, although they still have three league games to play before next month's showpiece final against Aberdeen. 

Indeed, they travel to face Rangers at Ibrox this weekend in the final Glasgow derby of the season. 

Brendan Rodgers knows the significance of the tie, given that his team have lost the previous two meetings of the sides: "It's so important," he said. 

"Rangers were very good in the first half when we played them at Celtic Park.

"We were too slow. The comfort in the game was not good. In the second half, we were much better. Celtic vs Rangers, no matter what it is, Rangers Celtic, it means everything.

"So we need to go and perform next week again. But we can get those messages through during the week."
