Former Rangers striker and Sky Sports pundit Kris Boyd was left “completely fuming” during the live broadcast of the recent Celtic vs. Rangers fixture, expressing his outrage over a controversial VAR decision that he believes cost his former club dearly. The sentiment resonated powerfully with the wider Rangers fanbase, who widely agreed with Boyd’s vehement criticism of the officials.
The feeling of injustice stemming from this VAR intervention has clearly galvanized the Rangers faithful. When a prominent figure like Boyd—a known club advocate—expresses such strong dissent live on air, it validates the anger felt by supporters watching at home. The consensus among the Rangers fans seems to be that the decision was a crucial turning point, fueling the narrative that key moments in the Old Firm are consistently decided by questionable officiating, leaving the club and its supporters feeling deeply aggrieved.
Boyd has a history of publicly chastising officials on Sky Sports, often questioning the competency of the VAR process. He has previously slammed decisions where Rangers were denied a spot-kick, arguing that contact was sufficient to warrant a penalty, even if the on-field referee missed it. He suggests the technology is either being poorly implemented or that officials are not brave enough to make the correct call, thereby robbing Rangers of vital advantages in crucial matches against their rivals.
