I’m not going to jump on that bandwagon- Kris Boyd slaps down Celtic revival

Kris Boyd won’t be jumping on the Celtic bandwagon!

At the start of October Ange Postecoglou’s side were in mid-table, six points behind Steven Gerrard’s pace-setters. A win at home against Livingston today will send the hoops to the top of the Premiership table.

The October fixture list threatened to send Celtic’s season into complete meltdown with trips to Aberdeen, Motherwell and Hibs after they had opened the season with three defeats on the road.

Game by game, win by win momentum has developed with Neil McCann and Barry Ferguson voicing their concerns as the gap narrows.

Whether it is at the match or in the Sky Sports News studio Boyd is the face of Premiership coverage but he isn’t joining McCann and Ferguson on-board the Postecoglou bandwagon.

Reflecting on recent results, Boyd told The Sun:

Some people are getting carried away by Celtic’s recent wins and talking them up no end.  I’m not going to jump on that bandwagon but there is a title race, there absolutely is. Rangers need to get their finger out.

They’ve blown the lead they had at the top of the table and now have Ange Postecoglou’s side breathing down their necks.

They’ve got a tough run of fixtures coming up between now and the festive period and they just need to get back to basics. They need to remember what really won them the title last season.

Gerrard has been repeating a similar message all season, living in the past. Last season his side won 19 out of 19 home matches in the SPFL Premiership.

Only a fool wouldn’t notice drawing three of their last four matches at Ibrox while their only credible rivals up their game with the prospect of going top of the Premiership by 5pm.
