“I will answer them.” The fixtures have been kind to them. Kris Boyd bizarre claim, looking at Celtic and Aberdeen realities

Celtic are currently leading the push at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, followed by Aberdeen.

Before a ball was kicked this season, Kris Boyd would have predicted that Rangers would challenge Celtic for the title.

However, the table shows otherwise, with the champions sitting proudly at the top with 22 points from eight matches, eight points ahead of the Dons on goal difference, and six points ahead of Ibrox.

Celtic and Aberdeen drew 2-2 at Parkhead on Saturday, capping up their respective 100 percent starts with an exhilarating, entertaining, and action-packed game of football

In fact, before Rangers’ defeat against Kilmarnock on Sunday, Boyd was upbeat and didn’t want to talk about the Pittodrie-based team.

Rodgers has been kind to Aberdeen, treating them with the respect they deserve, and it appears like Boyd could learn a thing or two.

Kris Boyd doesn’t think Aberdeen can split Celtic and Rangers

When reviewing the Celtic-Aberdeen game the day before, the former Scotland striker most likely made sense on one point.

Boyd believed that the victors should and should have been 4-0 up at halftime, and if the scoreboard had read so, the opposition would have had no complaints.

But Jimmy Thelin’s courageous Aberdeen side came out in the second half, against the finest team in the land and at Parkhead, and put them under pressure like no one else has this season.

Despite this, Boyd was adamant that Aberdeen had little chance of separating Celtic and Rangers, let alone fighting for the title, as he told Sky Sports Football (20/10/24 at 11:10 am).

You sense he would have been facing a bit of a reality check when Rangers suffered another defeat and are now closer to fifth-placed Motherwell than they are to the top two.

“I will answer them, no to all of them,” responded Boyd about whether Aberdeen can split Celtic and Rangers, as well as challenge for the title. “The fixtures have been kind to them. You still have to win the games. I totally get that.
