Kris Boyd has delivered a scathing critique of the current Rangers squad, asserting that none of the players would make it into the Celtic lineup. Boyd’s comments come in the wake of a crushing 3-0 defeat for Rangers at Celtic Park in the first Old Firm clash of the season.
The match, which saw Philippe Clement’s Rangers side outclassed by their fierce rivals, has left the Light Blues licking their wounds as they head into the international break. The team will next face Dundee United, but Boyd’s harsh words have cast a shadow over their preparations.
Speaking to Sky Sports host Eilidh Barbour on September 1 following the loss, Boyd did not hold back in his assessment. “That was embarrassing,” he stated. “How many of the Rangers team get in that Celtic team? None. None, and that’s where you’re trying to get to.”
Boyd continued to criticize the team’s performance, emphasizing the gap between the two sides. “None of them would get anywhere near it. Celtic make things happen; Rangers hope things happen. It’s about time people wised up and realized that this isn’t going anywhere fast – that was embarrassing.”
As the Rangers squad regroups during the break, Boyd’s comments are likely to resonate with fans and pundits alike, highlighting the growing concerns about the club’s ability to compete with their Glasgow rivals.
