Kris Boyd has come up with a bizarre dig at Celtic- they were knocked out of Europe before their city rivals.
After Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side became the worst ever in the history of the Champions League Boyd’s claim really is clutching at straws, using an argument best associated with the playground.
Celtic’s return of two points wasn’t great but it did represent avoiding defeat in two matches while their final action in this season’s competition was for Jota to curl in a brilliant free kick in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Picking up on Boyd’s comments on a podcast, the Daily Record reports him saying:
A lot of people forget that, despite it being a bad European campaign for Rangers, Celtic were out of the competition before them.
Boyd might feel that that issue is significant but it is unlikely that it will alarm many Celtic fans who have enjoyed the rough and tumble of the Champions League after a five year break. Six matches back in the big time in which Ange Postecoglou’s side had strong periods of possession, created chances but were let down by poor finishing.
Reo Hatate and Matt O’Riley have competed well at the highest level possible less than a year after joining Celtic while Jota has the very decent record of scoring twice from 286 minutes of playing time.
Why you give this clown air time I dont know.
Celtic had many chances in these games but were also let down by the usual vulnerability at the back.
This has been the norm for years not just a new thing as most people think.
Need to cover each other when charging forward not leave gaps at the back. Martin Oneill and Gordon Strachans teams were good at that.
Its no coincidence, that even tho we have had several decent players at the back over the last 10-15yrs, its still the back line that is the weak point, it cant be that every player that comes to the club isn’t any good, the common denominator is the coaching..needs cleared out and top class coaches brought in or nothing will change
This guy really is thick as f**k.
I’m struggling to understand the point of this drivel from Kris (at this present moment in time) Boyd.
Shame on all media outlets giving this idiot a voice.
Wait for “Scottish football” is dire and not that “the rangers” are officially the worst club ever to have played in the champions league… As I’ve said before a negative story about ‘the rangers” printed story dies negative story about CELTIC even if it’s not “true” printed opinions galore story will run and run . That’s the SMSM …yes Scottish
He’s a fud! Who listens to him. Probably not even his wife, if he has one.
Kris scumhun boyd should get a kick in the baws and tossed out of the media and sky sports because he’s as thick as fuck just like all huns are same with the recoed and sun scum journalists who need awake up call before they say anything dirty lowlife cheats of scotland ranjurs liquidated 2012 dead forever RIP SCUMBAGS.
Its hard to believe this guy is employed as a pundit to offer insightful, objective and knowledgable commentary in football.
The comment is that of a petulant child with only hate and bigotry in his heart, unable to put it to one side even in his “professional” role in the media.
An absolute joke of a man but SKY are a bigger joke for employing ex pros who are so obviously lacking in the skills required.
We just want honest, objective and unbiased opinion, nothing more nothing less.
