This is the moment that Kris Boyd recreated an iconic moment of TV live on Sky Sports yesterday.
The Rangers hero produced his best impression of Thierry Henry upon hearing the news of Brendan Rodgers' departure from Leicester City.
The ex-Celtic boss leaves the Foxes in the Premier League relegation zone after a late 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The King Power side are 19th in the table only two points ahead of bottom club Southampton, albeit they are only one point from safety too.
The news broke while Boyd was live on air covering Celtic's win over Ross County in the Highlands.

Presenter Eilidh Barbour announced the breaking news. It was here that Boydy couldn't resist the chance to have a laugh over the matter.
In a nod to both Henry and fellow pundit Jamie Carragher, Boyd grasped James McFadden's knee in an act of shock at the news.

This prompted laughter in the studio, as Barbour asked: "Is that your Thierry Henry impression?"
McFadden added: "It's alright mate, I'm fine."
Back in 2015, when Rodgers left Liverpool, it happened in similar circumstances with Sky live on air at the time.
As the news was read out, a surprised Henry turned to Reds legend Carragher and touched his leg.
The clip went viral on social media and has been shared on various occasions throughout the years.
