Kris Boyd, the former Rangers striker, had a meltdown on Sky Sports Football as Celtic went 14 points clear of Rangers in the Scottish Premiership. Boyd was reacting to Rangers’ 2-2 draw at Motherwell, which left them further behind Celtic in the title race.
Boyd was scathing in his criticism of Rangers’ performance, saying that it was “not good enough” and that the team’s display in the first half was a “shambles.” He also questioned the decision-making of Rangers manager Philippe Clement, who rested several key players and brought them on as substitutes in the second half.
Boyd’s rant was epic, and he did not hold back in his criticism of Clement and the Rangers team. He said that Clement would “lose his job” over his reliance on sports science and his decision-making, and that the fans would be asking questions of the manager and the leadership team at Rangers.
Boyd’s comments were likely music to the ears of Celtic fans, who are enjoying their team’s dominant position in the Scottish Premiership. Celtic’s 4-0 win over St Johnstone on Sunday was their latest victory, and they now have a 14-point lead over Rangers.
The two teams are set to meet at Ibrox on Thursday, and Boyd’s comments will only add to the hype surrounding the match. Celtic will be looking to extend their lead over Rangers, while the home team will be desperate to get back into the title race.
Boyd’s meltdown was entertaining, but it also highlighted the pressure that Rangers are under to deliver results. The team’s poor performance at Motherwell was a major setback, and they will need to bounce back quickly if they are to have any chance of catching Celtic.
In the end, Boyd’s rant was a reflection of the frustration that many Rangers fans are feeling right now. The team’s poor form and Clement’s decision-making have raised questions about the team’s direction, and Boyd’s comments only added to the debate.
