Kris Boyd’s Tongue-in-Cheek Warning to Celtic Sparks Laughter
Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd delivered a humorous warning to Celtic live on Sky Sports, following Rangers’ resounding 6-0 victory over Kilmarnock. Boyd, tasked with analysing Celtic’s narrow 1-0 win over Aberdeen, couldn’t resist a lighthearted jibe at the expense of their Glasgow rivals.
As the programme drew to a close, host Eilidh Barbour referenced Rangers’ dominant display. Boyd, with a mischievous grin, declared: “Be afraid, Rangers are back.” The remark sparked immediate laughter from fellow pundits Neil Lennon and Jonny Hayes, who struggled to maintain straight faces.
Boyd’s comment, while clearly tongue-in-cheek, tapped into the optimism that often characterises Rangers’ support, despite a tumultuous campaign. Sitting 11 points adrift of Celtic in December, Rangers’ poor start to the season cannot be overlooked. However, recent performances suggest they are gathering momentum at a critical juncture.
With the League Cup final looming, Rangers fans are daring to dream. Yet, Celtic’s consistency and stellar start to the season make them favourites for the Hampden clash. Whether Boyd’s confidence proves prophetic or premature remains to be seen, but his humour undoubtedly enlivened a routine night of football analysis.
