📰 “You Can Only See This in Scottish Football”

Shame on him… 😔 Kris Boyd blasts Aberdeen coach Peter Leven for obstruction

Kris Boyd has launched a fierce attack on Aberdeen interim boss Peter Leven following a controversial moment in the recent clash with Rangers, branding his actions “embarrassing” and “anti-football.”

Speaking after the match, the former Rangers striker couldn’t hide his frustration as he reacted to Leven’s explanation for the touchline incident that disrupted the flow of the game.

🗣️ “You can only see this in Scottish football,” Boyd said.
🗣️ “Shame on him. That’s a silly explanation.”

The flashpoint came when the ball went out of play near the Aberdeen technical area, with Leven accused of deliberately holding onto the ball to slow down Rangers’ momentum. Boyd claimed the delay lasted far longer than acceptable.

🗣️ “You hold the ball for more than three minutes,” Boyd fumed.
🗣️ “C’mon… get a life.”

Boyd went on to accuse the Aberdeen coach of obstruction, insisting there was no tactical genius involved—just gamesmanship taken too far.

🗣️ “That’s not being clever, that’s just silly,” he added.
🗣️ “Managers and coaches should be setting standards, not behaving like that on the touchline.”

The comments have sparked debate across Scottish football, with fans divided—some defending Leven as doing what it takes to help his team, while others agree with Boyd that such behaviour damages the image of the game.

One thing is certain: Kris Boyd didn’t hold back, and Peter Leven now finds himself at the centre of yet another Scottish football controversy—one that Boyd believes “should never happen at this level.” ⚽🔥
