Celtic’s storming start to this season has been extremely impressive as Brendan Rodgers launched the defence of his Scottish Premiership title.
Four wins out of four with 12 goals scored and none conceded has sent a message to our rivals that that is going to take something special to remove Celtic from the top of the Scottish Premiership.
Brendan Rodgers has his team playing some superb attacking football and that was on full display as Celtic easily beat Rangers at Parkhead just before the international break.
That result caused pundit, Kris Boyd, to display a public show of anger on Sky Sports as the former Rangers striker lost the plot after watching Celtic hammer his old club.
And it seems now, that after watching that defeat and Celtic’s performance, Boyd has come to a stark realisation about Rangers’ chances of pipping Brendan Rodgers to the title.
Boyd: Celtic will have ‘too much’ for Rangers
Boyd sounded defeated when he was asked to give his predictions of where he thinks all the SPFL teams will finish this season and when it came to Celtic, he admitted that he has been ‘impressed’ with how the Parkhead club has started the season.
Boyd told Sky Sports, “Even I’ve been impressed by the way Celtic have started the season and that takes a lot for me to say that!
“I just get the feeling they’re going to have too much. The business they’ve done, they’re strong enough and they will win the league by a good few points.”
Boyd’s Rangers prediction still hands praise to Celtic
The former Rangers man was then asked to give his prediction on where Rangers will finish and whilst he believes his old club will be runners-up, he reckons it’s not going to be an easy season trying to catch Celtic.
Boyd continued, “I knew it was going to be a tough season, I didn’t think it would be as tough as this. I still think they’ll have more than the rest but I don’t think it’s going to be as easy as it’s been over the last few years to get that second place.
“Once the season settles down a bit and players get up to match speed, they’ll be ok. Once injuries start to hit the smaller teams that’s when you see the bigger ones pull away.
“Rangers will have more than enough to finish second but I don’t think they have enough to challenge Celtic.”
Whilst nothing is won in September, the Celtic fans will be confident that the team Rodgers has assembled will be good enough to defend the title.
Wit the Champions League campaign starting next week, European progress is the aim this season and the Celtic supporters will be hoping that Brendan Rodgers will deliver that this season.
