Former Rangers player Kris Boyd has made a candid admission about Celtic’s dominance in the Scottish Premiership. Boyd, who played for Rangers from 2005 to 2010, believes that Celtic is “by far the best team in Scotland” and predicts that they will win the league title.
Boyd’s comments come after Rangers’ 1-0 win over Dundee on Saturday, which kept them in second place in the table. However, Boyd is concerned about Rangers’ form and believes that Celtic’s consistency and quality make them the clear favorites to win the title.
“Celtic will win the league,” Boyd said in an interview with Sky Sports News. “They are, by far, the best team in Scotland, at this moment. You look at Rangers, they just have to keep winning games and see where it takes them.”
Boyd’s comments are a realistic assessment of the current state of Scottish football. Celtic has been dominant in the Premiership, winning 11 of their 15 matches and sitting top of the table with a 7-point lead over Rangers.
Celtic’s manager, Brendan Rodgers, has built a strong squad that has the quality and depth to compete on multiple fronts. The Hoops are also competing in the Champions League, where they have won 2 of their 5 matches and are still in contention for a spot in the knockout stages.
Rangers, on the other hand, have been inconsistent this season, with some impressive wins but also some disappointing losses. Boyd’s comments suggest that Rangers need to improve their form if they want to challenge Celtic for the title.
Overall, Boyd’s comments are a candid assessment of the current state of Scottish football. While Rangers have the potential to challenge Celtic, the Hoops’ consistency and quality make them the clear favorites to win the title.
