Celtic are still reeling from our own Champions League exit but at least Rangers are still good for a laugh.
Celtic’s defeat to Kairat Almaty has caused a wave of absolute anger to be directed at the Celtic board today.
Fans are furious after watching Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic team failed to score a single goal in over 3.5 hours of football.
However, with Rangers up next at Club Brugge, Celtic supporters can rely on Kris Boyd and the Ibrox club to provide a good few laughs.
Kris Boyd’s ‘if you don’t laugh’ Rangers pain is delightful for Celtic fans
Rangers started off with some attacking endeavour, but that lasted all but five minutes when Nicole Tresoldi opened the scoring.
And Boyd did this:

But it got better. After Rangers’ Max Aaron’s was sent off:
"You've just got to laugh because if you don't you'll cry! This could be an Almaty disaster"
