After Celtic secured a convincing 3-0 victory in the first Glasgow Derby of the season, Kris Boyd did not hold back in his critique of Rangers’ performance during a fiery rant on Sky Sports.
With goals from Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi, Celtic now find themselves five points ahead at the summit of the Scottish Premiership following their impressive display against their arch-rivals.
As Rangers left Celtic Park nursing their wounds, Boyd took the opportunity to slam his former team for their lackluster performance in the defeat. In a passionate outburst, Boyd expressed his frustration, stating, “Celtic make things happen, Rangers hope things happen. And this, ‘Aw we’re improving, we’re improving’, it’s about time people wisen up and realise this ain’t going anywhere fast. That was embarrassing today.”
Highlighting the disparity in quality between the two teams, Boyd emphasized that none of the Rangers players would even come close to making it into the Celtic starting lineup. He pointed out specific instances during the match where Celtic’s proactive approach outshone Rangers’ reactionary tactics.
With Celtic’s dominance evident both on and off the field, Boyd’s sentiments were echoed by the likes of Chris Sutton, who expressed concern for Rangers’ ability to keep up with their rivals. As Philippe Clement’s side faces increasing pressure with one game left before the international break, Celtic’s commanding position at the top of the table looks set to continue unchallenged for the foreseeable future.
