‘Sutton was right’ – Celtic fans are loving Kris Boyd’s tears as he delivers a ‘harsh reality’ to Rangers

Celtic’s title win has broken Rangers from the boardroom, to the dugout to the fans in the stand.

Brendan Rodgers has his foot on the Ibrox club’s throat once again as he chases a record-breaking ninth domestic treble as Rangers finish the season trophyless.

Celtic’s trophy success is such that Rodgers is now officially the Parkhead club’s most decorated manager in their history and as the celebrations continues amongst the fain, the pain for Kris Boyd continues.

The former Ibrox striker now Sky Sports pundit was owned by Chris Sutton last season after he told Boyd to ‘wait a year’ as the ex-Rangers striker boasted about the combined trophy record of the new and dead club.

And now that he concedes that Celtic are miles ahead, Boyd sent his old club a harsh dose of reality about the scale of the job they have to try and get near the Bhoys never mind overtake them.

Kris Boyd offers Celtic a congratulations and is fuming about the gap to Rangers

Speaking at his charity event Boyd was speaking about Celtic’s title win when he delivered a dose of ‘harsh reality’ to Rangers to where they are compared to the Parkhead club.

Boyd told Sky Sports, “First of all, congratulations to Celtic. Once again, they have been the outstanding team in Scotland. That consistency that Brendan Rodgers seems to find from his team is unmatched.

“From a Rangers point of view, there is obviously going to be a takeover happening any time soon, but the harsh reality is that Rangers are falling further and further behind Celtic.

“When you go back a few years go, in terms of that trophy count, it was virtually impossible to think that, if you go back to my time at the football club, that Celtic were going to get anywhere near it.

“People will say, ‘since Rangers have gone down the leagues’… Celtic have actually won more trophies since Rangers have come back to the top-flight than they did when they were away.”

Celtic have dominated Rangers for decades.

“Rangers are falling behind Celtic”. What planet is he on. With the exception of the Covid season they have been miles behind Celtic for 14 years.

Sometimes the most obvious statement is staring Boyd in the face, but he clearly missed it.

To make it even more obvious for Boyd, this tweet sums up just how far Celtic are ahead of Rangers:

Sutton was correct:

Sutton was right all along “give it a year”
