'Rangers are leaderless' says furious Kris Boyd in scathing tirade

Kris Boyd was left furious at Rangers' performance from back to front in their 2-1 loss to Aberdeen at Pittodrie tonight (Wednesday).

The loss sees Philippe Clement's side fall nine points off the Dons and Celtic, both of whom sit on 28 points a-piece. 

Former Rangers forward and Sky Sports pundit Kris Boyd did not mince his word in the aftermath of the match.

"Aberdeen are absolutely everything that Rangers aren't," he said on Sky Sports. They've got a work rate, they've got a style of play about them – if that's long, they'll go; if they need to calm it down, they will.

"They'll get after teams, they'll stop them playing, they ask questions of the opposition.

"Rangers… I know we're on until quarter to 11. It might be half 11 by the time we're finished with this."

"There are loads out there who are absolutely miles off it – from top to bottom right now, Rangers are leaderless.

"You go back through the recruitment… Aberdeen have a team worth £2million, and, by the way, they sold their best player.

"They have built this team with £2million and are miles ahead of Rangers in terms of structure and a work ethic to go and play. Rangers have spent over £10million and have downgraded in every single position.

"Eight of the 11 were there when Philippe Clement arrived and they have downgraded in every position. They deserve everything that's coming to them."
