Boyd hammers Rangers players as Ferguson 'another manager thrown under the bus'

Kris Boyd has accused Rangers players of throwing Barry Ferguson under the bus.

The former Ibrox striker suggested the weight of the Rangers shirt may  be getting to players in Ferguson's squad as he warned it may be that "the whole place needs gutted top to bottom".

Rangers lost their fifth straight home match at Ibrox as Hibernian claimed a 2-0 win in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

Boyd blasted the Rangers players for making the same mistakes again and again, as he stated players are "picking and choosing what games you perform in".

On Sky Sports, Boyd said: "They've tried to get a bit of consistency but the players keep making the same mistake time after time, picking and choosing what games you perform in.

"Any manager looking at that will think I need to clear this place out because the same mistakes keep happening time after time.

"That is not to say Rangers don't have good players, they've shown they're capable of putting in big performances.

"But it might just be that the shirt is too heavy to do week in week out. It might just be that the full place needs gutted top to bottom.

"There are only so many managers, coaches, that the players - not all the players, I must add - they can throw under the bus and it's happening once more."
