Boyd: Why Rangers are ‘Miles Off It’ Despite Celtic Record
Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd believes that his former club has been “miles off it” domestically this season, despite their impressive record against Celtic. Rangers have won the last two meetings between the sides, including a 3-0 victory at Ibrox in January and a shock win at Celtic Park in March.
Boyd’s Assessment
Boyd thinks that the upcoming match between Rangers and Celtic, although meaningful in terms of bragging rights, highlights the significant gap between the two teams in the league table. “It means as much to them (Celtic) as it does to Rangers, there’s no getting away from it,” he said. “Both of them will want to win the game of football, Brendan Rodgers will want to win it in style and I think for Rangers, in front of their own fans, they will want to put on a show, finish the season strong against your rivals, but the reality is, once the game’s finished, you need to assess and Rangers, domestically, have been miles off it again.”
Conclusion
The upcoming match between Rangers and Celtic promises to be an intense and closely contested affair. Boyd’s comments highlight the significant difference in form between the two teams this season. With Celtic looking to maintain their dominance and Rangers seeking to cause an upset, the match is set to be a thrilling encounter.
