Scott Brown: Celtic captain slammed by Kris Boyd for celebrating in front of Rangers fans Dont fuel the fire
Kris Boyd has criticised Celtic captain Scott Brown for goading Rangers supporters during Sundays 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.2

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 Celtics victory, with police treating one of the attacks as attempted murder.And Boyd said he doesnt see what Brown was trying to achieve by taunting his rival supporters.2

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 its boiling over weve seen incidents before and after the game and Im not saying its related to what Scott Brown did, but it doesnt help the matter.I remember years ago the police would brief us and tell us, if we win the game or score a goal dont 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, thats what happens, youre there to win a game.But winding up the opposition fans, especially in an Old Firm, I just dont see what youre trying to achieve.The Celtic fans already love you, hes already a hero in their eyes, they idolise Scott Brown for what he does on a football pitch and hes 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 theyre obsessed with getting to ten and Rangers are obviously trying to stop that.Theres a lot of bad blood, theres a hatred. Its always been there but I feel as if its now starting to boil over.Its really, really important the players keep their cool in these situations and dont add fuel to the fire.
