Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd has ignited a heated debate with his scathing assessment of Celtic fans, accusing them of living in the past and refusing to acknowledge the reality of the current Scottish football landscape.
“Celtic fans are still living in the past, thinking they’re the big boys in Scottish football,” Boyd declared. “But the truth is, Rangers are the real power now, and no amount of hating can change that.”
Boyd’s comments were swiftly endorsed by another pundit, who agreed that Rangers have indeed surpassed Celtic as the dominant force in Scottish football. “Kris is spot on,” the pundit said. “Rangers have invested heavily in their squad and infrastructure, and it’s paying dividends. They’re the team to beat in Scotland right now, and Celtic fans need to wake up to that fact.”
Boyd’s forthright comments are likely to spark a furious reaction from Celtic fans, who will point to their recent successes and argue that they’re still the biggest club in Scotland. However, Boyd’s assertion that Rangers are the real power now will resonate with many neutral observers, who will acknowledge the Ibrox club’s recent progress and investment in their squad and infrastructure.
The debate is set to rumble on, with Celtic fans likely to fiercely contest Boyd’s claims. One thing’s for sure, though – the rivalry between Celtic and Rangers is as intense as ever, and both sets of fans will be eager to prove their team is the best in Scotland.
