Fans react to Kris Boyd missing Kilmarnock game to cover Aberdeen-Rangers for Sky Sports

Scottish football fans took to social media on Wednesday night to question why Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd was covering Aberdeen’s clash with Rangers at Pittodrie - despite Killie facing Dundee at Dens Park.

Although the veteran forward is suspended, many supporters were surprised that the former Rangers hitman was on punditry duties in the Granite City and not supporting his team mates.

Plenty had their say on the matter - we’ve picked out some of the cleaner opinions...
