😱 Chaos Before the Comeback: Schmeichel’s Horror Moment
Kilmarnock raced into a shocking 2–0 lead in the first half thanks to goals from Tyreece John-Jules and Joe Hugill. But one incident had EVERYONE talking: the second goal, in which veteran goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel appeared to misjudge a routine ball into his path — retreating, then diving awkwardly, only to see the ball trickle straight past him into the net. �

📺 Kris Boyd Drops the VERBAL ATOM BOMB
Then came the pundits — and Sky Sports’ own Kris Boyd didn’t hold back during the live coverage. In blunt terms that will echo in “YouTube best clips” for days, Boyd summed up his analysis with:
“I have absolutely no idea what Kasper Schmeichel is doing… he makes himself smaller, he’s going with the wrong hand, he’s made a total mess of it.” �

Beyond just Boyd’s famous line, many analysts are now asking tougher questions:

🎙️ Did This Moment Overshadow The Comeback?
In a match where Celtic scored three goals in the second half and injury time to snatch victory, you’d expect the drama to all be about the heroics.
