Kris Boyd suffers Rangers TV nightmare as wind up spectacularly backfires before Leipzig winner

Rangers hero Kris Boyd suffered a spectacular own goal during live commentary of his former side's 1-0 defeat to Leipzig in Germany.

The pundit was in the chair for Sky Sports News as he provided live updates from the Europa League semi final first leg.

But Boyd was too focused on winding up former West Ham star Anton Ferdinand who was covering West Ham's defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Rangers legend, speaking on Sky Sports, said: "The only thing that will want to hear the full time whistle quicker than Gio van Bronckhorst will be Anton Ferdinand's neck.

"Is that screen on the roof that you're watching there tonight, my friend?"

But he was left instantly caught out as RB's left-back Angelino crashed a stunning strike to give Dominico Tedesco's side the upper hand heading to Ibrox.

The 38-year-old's famous beaming grin was instantly wiped off his face as his dig came seconds before disaster struck in Leipzig.

He added: "Ohhh, it's a goal.

"I shouldn't carry on, it's a goal from the edge of the box, Angelino, 84th minute.

"I told you he wanted to hear the full time whistle!

"A corner comes in, it's headed out and Angelino volleys it past Allan McGregor.

"Rangers have defended so well for the majority of the night."
