Grinning Kris Boyd has taken a swipe at Celtic after their third injury time winner in a week.
The Hoops took until the 97th minute to secure the three points against Kilmarnock after Julian Araujo made it 3-2 to secure a remarkable fight-back at Rugby Park. It follows a last-gasp equaliser to send the Scottish Cup clash with Dundee and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s decisive strike against Livingston in midweek.
Raging Neil McCann questioned where the officials found the added time as the Kilmarnock boss accused the match officials of making up the seven minutes. Following the game, Rangers hero Boyd did the maths – and came up with a one liner.
He told Sky Sports: “Well, there was three substitutions at half-time, wasn’t there? That can’t be added on to the second half, can it?
“The board, they should just change it to ‘play until Celtic score’. Just hold the board up and say that.”
The Rangers man also fired a warning to Martin O’Neill’s men, adding: “Listen, we can have a laugh and a joke about it, but you can’t keep doing it. You cannot keep depending on last minute goals.

“Celtic are still creating chances and not putting them away, and then teams start getting belief against them.
“Kilmarnock started the game well, but there is no doubt the substitutions changed the game today.
“Neil McCann can be extremely happy with large parts of that game, and I think he can be extremely pleased with his contribution to Kilmarnock since he has went in.”
