In Scottish football, Kris Boyd is the gift that keeps coming.
Over the past ten years, the former Rangers striker has watched Celtic win often while working as a Sky Sports commentator.
Other from Rangers likely defeating Boyd by giving their steadily deteriorating team further more comedic value, this season is the same.
Kevin Muscat has been linked to the position after the Ibrox club fired Russell Martin as manager, but what can he do to halt Celtic?
Can Kevin Muscat beat Celtic to the title if he becomes Rangers manager?
Rangers is in the bottom half and fighting relegation, while Celtic and Hearts appear to be in the running for the crown.
However, Boyd told Sky Sports News on October 14, 25 that “the only way is up” and that he firmly expects Rangers to improve following the October international break.
Boyd frequently offers ridiculous opinions, but this time he’s wearing his rational hat because, despite Muscat’s potential appointment, he just doesn’t see Rangers defeating Celtic to win the championship, as he praised Brendan Rodgers.
Presenter: “Should Muscat be hired.” Does the Rangers return to the title race with Muscat?
Boyd: “You see where the Rangers are at the moment. Up is the only path. It’s impossible to avoid it there. Performances will get better. They must. Many new gamers who are still getting their bearings are joining them.
Unfortunately, Scottish football doesn’t provide you that kind of time, therefore many players must also improve.
However, I do believe Rangers will become better. Will it be sufficient to win the league? Since Celtic is the way they are, probably not. Brendan Rodgers is an accomplished individual. He is skilled at winning awards. It will be challenging.
“Do I think Rangers will get better? Yes, I do.
Rangers ‘haven’t got a clue’ as Celtic continue to dominate
Recall that despite having a bad start to the season, Celtic is still undefeated at home and just two points behind leaders Hearts.
Everyone has witnessed what happens when the Scottish champions put their foot on the accelerator—13 of the last 14 titles—and that’s what separates the clubs on bad days.
In any case, Boyd believes his previous team is likely demonstrating that they “haven’t got a clue” while Rangers’ manager hunt continues, particularly in light of Steven Gerrard’s humiliating rejection.
“Rangers may be targeting a coach rather than a manager for a variety of reasons,” Boyd remarked.
“I will say this: Rangers ought to have taken charge of the story and made it obvious to everyone.” Due to their tendency to jump from Steven Gerrard, another player has emerged as the favourite. Next, someone else. The club simply doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing at the moment.
