Kris Boyd hit out with a hilarious warning to Celtic live on Sky Sports after Rangers’ 6-0 win over Kilmarnock on Wednesday night.
The ex-Gers striker was covering Celtic’s hard-fought 1-0 victory at Pittodrie but kept a keen eye on events at Ibrox, where his old team ran riot.
Philippe Clement’s men now have three wins on the bounce. They have scored 11 goals in their previous three matches, too, and conceded just once.
They are gaining momentum, but Boyd’s warning left many in the Sky Sports studio at Pittodrie in hysterics.
Indeed, towards the end of the programme, host Eilidh Barbour mentioned Rangers’ 6-0 win, to which Boyd replied: “Be afraid, Rangers are back.”
Ex-Celts Neil Lennon and Jonny Hayes couldn’t contain their laughter:
😝 “Be afraid, Rangers are back”

Boyd surely had to be joking, but mind you, such delusion seems to have plagued the Rangers fanbase over the past few years.
Granted, they are gaining momentum at the perfect time, although we can’t forget how poor they have been all season long: being 11 points behind Celtic in early December proves the Ibrox club’s dismal start to the campaign.
Fans are beginning to turn one eye to the League Cup final, which takes place a week on Sunday. While Clement and his men might be ‘back’, Celtic, based on their incredible start to the season, remain favourites heading into the Hampden showdown.
