Following Hearts’ 5-0 thumping at Ibrox, Kris Boyd has selected five Rangers players for his Scottish Premiership Team of the Week.
On Saturday, February 24, the Gers put on their greatest performance of the season to maintain their incredible run of play under Philippe Clement and to stay two points ahead of Celtic.
Boyd included Oscar Cortes, Cyriel Dessers, and Mohamed Diomande in his squad for The Scottish Sun [26 February]; all three players scored goals.
Along with the team, John Lundstram was awarded star man of the weekend, with influential skipper James Tavernier receiving recognized as the other recipient.
Rangers win the Team of the Week award from Kris Boyd.
January acquisitions Diomande and Cortes gave Rangers the early advantage against Hearts, extending their outstanding starts at Ibrox.
Dessers added a couple more goals to his already impressive tally. Many would have like to see him removed before the January transfer market opened.
Although Fabio Silva scored his third goal for the Gers in eight outings, he was left off of Boyd’s squad.
Following his heroics in Sunday’s late 3-1 victory over Motherwell, Adam Idah of Celtic was also acknowledged (25 February).
Boyd may be accused of prejudice by some, but following the masterclass against Hearts, every one of the 11 players on this team could have been a representation of the Gers.
Clement is unstoppable at the moment, whether it is with the players he has added to the team or just getting more out of those who are already there.
