Kris Boyd was left furious at Rangers' performance from back to front in their 2-1 loss to Aberdeen at Pittodrie tonight (Wednesday).
The loss sees Philippe Clement's side fall nine points off the Dons and Celtic, both of whom sit on 28 points a-piece.
Former Rangers forward and Sky Sports pundit Kris Boyd did not mince his word in the aftermath of the match.
"Aberdeen are absolutely everything that Rangers aren't," he said on Sky Sports. They've got a work rate, they've got a style of play about them – if that's long, they'll go; if they need to calm it down, they will.
🗣️ "Better team than Rangers, better manager than Rangers and better recruitment than Rangers."

🗣️ "They have downgraded in every position."

"They'll get after teams, they'll stop them playing, they ask questions of the opposition.
"Rangers… I know we're on until quarter to 11. It might be half 11 by the time we're finished with this."

"There are loads out there who are absolutely miles off it – from top to bottom right now, Rangers are leaderless.
"You go back through the recruitment… Aberdeen have a team worth £2million, and, by the way, they sold their best player.
"They have built this team with £2million and are miles ahead of Rangers in terms of structure and a work ethic to go and play. Rangers have spent over £10million and have downgraded in every single position.
"Eight of the 11 were there when Philippe Clement arrived and they have downgraded in every position. They deserve everything that's coming to them."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
