Kris Boyd shares two-word Rangers v Kilmarnock verdict while covering Celtic on Sky Sports News
Kris Boyd has stated that he “can’t lose” ahead of Rangers’ “Kris Boyd derby” against Kilmarnock at Ibrox on May 5.
Boyd, 40, played for Rangers and Kilmarnock throughout his 18-year career and now works as a commentator after retiring in 2019.
The Gers’ next game is against Kilmarnock, where they hope to keep the pressure on Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic.
Julian Warren reminded Boyd that the upcoming game between Rangers and Kilmarnock is the “Kris Boyd derby”.
During a Sky Sports News coverage of the Celtic-Hearts match (03:05pm, 4 May), he stated, “Can’t lose.”
The ‘Kris Boyd derby’ between Rangers and Kilmarnock
Boyd has spent his whole football career bouncing between Rangers and Kilmarnock, including his academy days.
He started out as a full-back in the Gers’ development system before being released and moving to Kilmarnock, where he was reformed as a striker.
The Irvine-born attacker got into the first squad in 2001 and stayed with the club for five years until returning to Glasgow in 2006.
He stayed with the Gers until 2010, when he left for a series of short-term contracts with Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest, Eskisehirspor, and Portland Timbers before returning to Scotland in 2013.
Boyd spent a year with Kilmarnock and then Rangers before returning to the former in 2015 and remaining there until his retirement four years later.
Boyd has made a total of 551 appearances across all competitions for the two sides (333 for Kilmarnock and 218 for Rangers), so it’s reasonable to say he’s invested in both teams’ success.
Rangers, on the other hand, stand to lose the most if they lose points in this encounter; they are three points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic and cannot afford to lose position with only four games remaining.
