A pyro display by a section of Celtic fans last night caused technical issues for Sky Sports.

The broadcasters for the Scottish Premiership had major difficulties in speaking to Brendan Rodgers after their TV cables were BURNED by the pyrotechnics. 

Following the 5-0 win at Rugby Park - which sealed a 54th league crown for the Hoops - scenes of jubilant celebration took place among the players and the packed-out away end at Kilmarnock.

After Killie's players exited the field and it was just Celtic's left, several red flares were set off along the bottom of the Chadwick Stand. Other fireworks and similar devices were lit during the match too.

And it has emerged that some of these caused issues for Sky, with their wires chargrilled as a result.

This meant that when Brendan Rodgers was pulled on the pitch for his reaction following the result, none of the viewers at home could hear what was being said for around two minutes. 

Eilidh Barbour did her best to enable the Celtic boss to be heard, but most of what he said was inaudible, drowned out by the 4,000 Celtic fans behind them.

The TV host later explained: "Flares and TV broadcast don't work too well.

"One of them burnt through our sound wires as you can see there which was why we sadly couldn't hear what Brendan Rodgers was saying when he came over."

Eventually speaking to Sky later on, Rodgers commented: "There has been a lot of negativity around them this season and that goes all the way back to August. But they've just stayed with it, kept believing and players coming back.

"The performance level over the last couple of months under pressure has been fantastic. I am very proud for them and very happy for the supporters."
