Kris Boyd has called for answers from Rangers’ ex-Everton pair after another dismal display piled fresh pressure on Russell Martin’s side.
The Ibrox legend insists the standards expected at the club are not being met, with the former Goodison Park duo singled out amid growing criticism of Rangers’ transfer strategy. Boyd believes their experience should be shining through in difficult moments, but instead, question marks remain over their consistency and influence in key matches.
Boyd’s frustrations come at a time when Celtic’s own transfer failings are also under the microscope, with recent signings failing to make the expected impact in Glasgow’s East End. However, while the Hoops have had missteps, Boyd argues Rangers’ issues are far deeper, pointing to questionable recruitment and the lack of leadership on the pitch.
Speaking on Sky Sports, the ex-striker said:
“When you bring in players with Premier League experience, you expect them to raise the level, not go missing when it matters most. Rangers fans deserve answers, because at the minute the club is paying the price for poor decisions in the transfer market.”
The Gers have won just four of their opening 14 games across all competitions, leaving their domestic and European ambitions in tatters. With Celtic still finding ways to grind out results despite their own stuttering recruitment, the gap between Glasgow’s giants is once again in sharp focus.
Boyd’s demand for accountability heaps further pressure on Martin, the Rangers board, and the senior players brought in to deliver a new era at Ibrox — an era that, so far, has been defined by underachievement.
