“Some teams rely on quality for 90 minutes…Boyd’s Stoppage-Time Rant Sparks Firestorm”

After yet another late goal sealed victory for Celtic, Boyd didn’t hold back—questioning added time decisions and reigniting the long-running debate over officiating in the Scottish Premiership. His comments quickly stirred controversy, with some fans echoing his frustration and others dismissing it as sour grapes.
But Sutton wasn’t having any of it.
The former Celtic striker-turned-pundit blasted the complaints, branding the outrage as “jealousy” and insisting that champions find ways to win—no matter the minute on the clock. According to Sutton, focusing on stoppage time only distracts from what truly matters: resilience, mentality, and clutch performances.
“Winning teams score late goals,” he argued, suggesting that constant scrutiny of Celtic’s injury-time winners reflects frustration from rivals rather than genuine injustice.
The clash between the two outspoken pundits has added fresh fuel to an already heated rivalry narrative. Supporters across Glasgow have taken sides, turning social media into a battleground of statistics, screenshots, and slow-motion replays.
Celtic’s knack for scoring late goals has once again stirred controversy in the Scottish Premiership. Boyd questioned the amount of added time and suggested that decisions seem to favour the Hoops, reigniting a debate that has followed the club for seasons.
But Sutton was quick to fire back and he didn’t mince his words.
The former Celtic striker dismissed the complaints as “jealousy,” arguing that successful teams often produce decisive moments under pressure. In his view, late goals are not about officiating advantages but about mentality, fitness, and belief. Sutton suggested that critics should focus less on the clock and more on why opposing teams fail to hold their leads.
According to him, champions create their own luck. If matches consistently go deep into stoppage time, it’s because of the flow of the game substitutions, injuries, time-wasting not conspiracy.
The exchange has divided fans. Some believe Boyd is raising legitimate questions about consistency in officiating. Others see it as frustration from rivals struggling to match Celtic’s relentless drive.
