Kris Boyd Sounds Alarm as Celtic’s Dominance Leaves Rangers in the Dust
Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd has expressed his growing concern over Celtic’s relentless march towards the Scottish Premiership title. The Hoops’ convincing 4-1 victory over Hearts at the weekend, coupled with Rangers’ disappointing draw against Dundee United, has left Boyd panicked about the gulf in class between the two Glasgow giants.
Celtic’s three-point lead at the top of the table, with a significant eleven-point cushion over Rangers, has Boyd worried that the title race may be all but over before the turn of the year. “I think when you look at Celtic, you’re winning games of football,” Boyd told Go Ballistic. “I mean Aberdeen had that challenge for a while. But you kind of got the feeling that it was just a matter of time before Celtic started to pull away.”
Boyd’s concerns are not unfounded, given Celtic’s impressive form and Rangers’ struggles to keep pace. The Hoops’ upcoming fixtures, including a crucial Champions League clash against Club Brugge and a League Cup final showdown with Rangers, will be pivotal in shaping the season’s narrative.
Celtic’s next six Scottish Premiership fixtures are likely to be crucial in determining the outcome of the title race. With four home games out of six, Brendan Rodgers’ side will be looking to capitalize on their strong home form. In contrast, Rangers face a more challenging run of fixtures, with four away games out of six, which could potentially further exacerbate the gap between the two teams.
Boyd’s alarmist tone is a reflection of the growing concern among Rangers fans that their team may be falling behind in the title race. As the season enters its critical phase, Celtic’s dominance will only continue to intensify the pressure on Rangers to deliver.
