In Scottish football, **Kris Boyd remains the pundit who never stops talking** — and often stirs up just as much debate as he did goals during his playing days.
For the past decade, the **former Rangers striker** has watched Celtic dominate the domestic scene while serving as a **Sky Sports commentator**, and this season appears no different. Once again, Celtic and Hearts are fighting at the top, while **Rangers languish in the bottom half of the table**, struggling to find form.
### Boyd on Kevin Muscat and Rangers’ title hopes
Speaking to **Sky Sports News on October 14, 2025**, Boyd addressed speculation linking **Kevin Muscat** with the vacant Rangers job — and shared his thoughts on whether the former Celtic defender could actually challenge his old club for the title.
“You look at where Rangers are right now — the only way is up,” Boyd said. “Performances will improve; they have to. A lot of new players are still settling in, but in Scottish football, you don’t get much time to adjust. Players need to step up quickly.
“I do think Rangers will get better. But will it be enough to win the league? Probably not, because Celtic are what they are. Brendan Rodgers knows how to win trophies — he’s a proven winner. It’s going to be very difficult.”
### “Rangers haven’t got a clue” amid Celtic dominance
Despite a shaky start, **Celtic remain unbeaten at home** and sit just two points behind **league leaders Hearts**. Having lifted **13 of the last 14 Premiership titles**, Rodgers’ side continues to set the benchmark — and Boyd believes the gap in quality and consistency remains wide.
Reflecting on Rangers’ ongoing struggles, Boyd didn’t hold back in criticising his former club’s handling of the managerial situation, especially after **Steven Gerrard’s public rejection** of a return.
“Rangers look like they haven’t got a clue right now,” Boyd admitted. “They might be chasing a coach instead of a manager for various reasons, but the club should’ve taken control of the story. They’ve gone from Gerrard to another name, then another — it just looks like there’s no clear direction.”
While Boyd is often known for his outspoken and sometimes outlandish takes, this time his assessment carried a rare sense of realism. Even with Kevin Muscat tipped as a potential appointment, **Boyd doubts anyone can stop Celtic’s momentum**, praising Rodgers’ ability to keep the Hoops on top season after season.
