Kris Boyd has ended his Ibrox hell by joining Kilmarnock and aimed an incredible blast at the PR team handling the troubled Championship outfit.
Over 100 days on from Dave King’s regime change the club is still without an auditor, a nominated adviser, a share issue or the capital to see it through the next 12 months.
Despite that dangerous report card the message from within Sevco has been upbeat and bright with some incredible spin put on the waifs and strays being brought in on trial to make up the numbers in training.
Only Danny Wilson and Rob Kiernan have signed up to the Warbo revolution with potential captain and midfield ‘fulcrum’ John Eustace doing a swift about turn after jetting in for contract talks.
Mr King, who was once described as a glib and shameless liar by a South African judge, has still to invest a pound or spend a full week at the club but appears beyond question as the drive to bring in season ticket money continues.
Back at Kilmarnock, Boyd looked lean and fit as he lifted the lid on the so-called regime change within Ibrox that has talked a lot but delivered little for the gullible fans.
“For me it is pretty easy to jump on the bandwagon and blame others,” the striker said. “I found it very surprising how Dave King came out and had a go at players on a Friday or Saturday and all of a sudden he doesn’t have a manager.
“Then you hold another press conference on the Monday. Go and get your manager in and let him deal with your players rather than you. You concentrate on your job.
“For me it’s finished now. I wish Dave King, Rangers, Mark Warburton and Davie Weir all the best. Hopefully they can get themselves back up to the Premiership because I think the whole of Scottish football needs it.
“The fans definitely deserve it. I thought it (the criticism) was unfair to single out two players.
“It’s pretty easy when the fans are jumping on the bandwagon and I think Dave King (has been critical), when the fans are wanting someone to say that, to go and sell season tickets.
“What I will say is that we didn’t play with two men last year. Towards the end of the season, I think me and Lee McCulloch have taken a lot of stick but we were part of a 30-man squad.”
Contrasting his two spells at Ibrox the world record SPL goalscorer admitted that it was difficult to find the net without team-mates enjoying the benefit of tax free loans.
He added: “It’s difficult when you go back somewhere after the amount of success I had.
“No disrespect to the players I played with last year but when you go from playing with World Cup players and top players, you look at Steven Davis and people like that. Barry Ferguson, Pedro Mendes they were creating chances, five or six chances per game and it wasn’t there last year.
“I missed a few chances but last year as a squad we struggled. I think there was a lot of pressure on the strikers or got a lot of criticism. If it was one or two who weren’t doing it but there were four or five.”
