“DISGRACEFUL!” – BOYD UNLEASHES BRUTAL VERDICT
Watching it unfold, former Rangers striker Kris Boyd didn’t mince words.
According to pundit reaction following the match, Boyd was furious with the defensive display, singling out the lack of concentration and leadership in key moments.

For Boyd, this wasn’t just a bad result—it was a complete mentality failure.
