Kris Boyd has criticised Celtic captain Scott Brown for goading Rangers supporters during Sunday’s Old Firm derby.
After three reported stabbings following the match, Boyd says players have a responsibility to behave themselves on the pitch and not ‘add fuel to the fire’ of the fierce rivalry.
Brown took centre stage for his sly wind-up antics towards Light Blues players throughout the Parkhead clash.

Scott Brown got under the skin of Rangers’ players
Alfredo Moreles was sent off in the first-half for elbowing the midfielder in the face, after Brown attempted to trip up the Rangers striker off the ball.
The Celtic hero was later punched in the face by Ryan Kent, and was also involved in a late scrap with Andy Halliday – also sent off – who took exception to Brown celebrating the Hoops’ 2-1 victory in front of visiting Rangers fans.
The match was also marred by incidents away from the pitch, as a brawl following the game left one man in a critical condition in hospital.
Three people were stabbed in the aftermath of Celtic’s victory, with police treating one of the attacks as attempted murder.
And Boyd said he doesn’t see what Brown was trying to achieve by taunting his rival supporters.

Brown couldn’t keep the smirk off his face as he constantly wound up the Rangers players at Celtic Park
“In terms of celebrating, go and celebrate with your own fans,†the Kilmarnock man told talkSPORT host Jim White.
“The big thing for me is it’s boiling over – we’ve seen incidents before and after the game and I‘m not saying it’s related to what Scott Brown did, but it doesn’t help the matter.
“I remember years ago the police would brief us and tell us, if we win the game or score a goal don’t go near the opposition fans, but it seems to be one rule for some and one rule for another.
“Listen, Celtic are winning cups and league titles – go and celebrate with your own people.

“What happened on the pitch in terms of Scott Brown winding up the players, so be it, that’s what happens, you’re there to win a game.
“But winding up the opposition fans, especially in an Old Firm, I just don’t see what you’re trying to achieve.
“The Celtic fans already love you, he’s already a hero in their eyes, they idolise Scott Brown for what he does on a football pitch and he’s not going to get an extra pat on the back for winding the Rangers fans up.
“Celtic are pushing towards eight titles in a row, and they’re obsessed with getting to ten and Rangers are obviously trying to stop that.
“There’s a lot of bad blood, there’s a hatred. It’s always been there but I feel as if it’s now starting to boil over.
“It’s really, really important the players keep their cool in these situations and don’t add fuel to the fire.â€
