Sky Sports forced to apologise after Rangers hero Kris Boyd was targeted with sectarian abuse
SKY SPORTS were forced to apologise during pre-match coverage of their match between Dundee United and Celtic after Kris Boyd was targeted with sectarian abuse.
The Rangers hero was in the studio alongside Shaun Maloney and John Rankin and was the subject of sectarian chants from within the stadium.
Boyd responded to the sickening songs saying: "It is nice to see my supporters club are in today. I am really enjoying it."
Presenter Mark Benstead then said: "Apologies if you can pick up any bad language behind us at the moment."
Boyd then laughed off the chants, adding: "I am causing them more problems right now than when I played!
"They never used to sing about me when I played against them."
