Kris Boyd Thinks Celtic’s Subs Would Make Arch-rivals’ Starting XI

Celtic put arch-rivals Rangers to the sword in a dominant Glasgow derby display on Sunday afternoon.

It was a professional performance from the Bhoys, who were on it throughout the 90.

Daizen Maeda opened the scoring 17 minutes in before Kyogo Furuhashi added another just before the break. Captain Callum McGregor then made it three with a screamer in the last quarter of an hour.

At the minute, the Celts are streets ahead of their city rivals in every single department.

Rangers look like a spineless team who have no heart, desire, or willingness to win.

Celtic dominate Scottish football, and pundit Kris Boyd thinks several of the Hoops’ subs would walk into the Gers’ starting lineup.

The Rangers-minded pundit, who is usually quite frank in his views, is correct on this rare occasion.

“I think on current form the Celtic starting XI from the weekend there is not one Rangers player who would get in that”, he said (Sky Sports).

“And if you want to rub salt in the wounds as well you could easily look and say there are about four or five on the Celtic bench who would walk right into the Rangers starting team.

“You look at Celtic right now and they look far superior all over the pitch.”

Things are looking the opposite of bright in Govan.

It is only four league Games into the season and Celtic look miles ahead of their rivals.

The Hoops have come into the new campaign looking like a well-oiled winning machine, and their results back that up.

Across all competitions so far in 2024/25, the champions have conceded just one goal and look well in gear.

Brendan Rodgers has his side playing some attractive, effective stuff that could take them far in the new term.
