RANGERS legend Kris Boyd recreated a memorable moment between Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry as he discovered Brendan Rodgers had left Leicester City.
The Liverpool and Arsenal legends swept social media back in 2015 after Rodgers was sacked by the Merseyside club while the pair were live on Sky Sports.

When presenter Ed Chamberlin announced the news of Rodgers’ departure to the viewers, Henry proceeded to put his hand on Carragher‘s thigh.
It was a clip which blew up the internet as people enjoyed the hilarious moment.
And the pair celebrated seven years since the memorable clip by reconstructing it during CBS Sports’ coverage of the Champions League last year.
Now it was the turn of Boyd to act it out – while letting out a sarcastic gasp – while he worked as a pundit on Sky Sports during Celtic’s 2-0 win at Ross County earlier.
News broke that former Celtic manager Rodgers had left Premier League strugglers Leicester by mutual consent.
The smirking Boyd quickly placed his hand on the knee of James McFadden, who quickly brushed off his co-pundit and said: “I’m fine, I’m fine.”
Leicester were beaten 2-1 by Crystal Palace on Saturday and have decided to axe Rodgers in a bid to beat the drop after slipping into the relegation zone.
Coaches Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell will take charge on a caretaker basis.
