Qudus SalihuIn a blistering post-match assessment that has sent shockwaves through Ibrox, Kris Boyd has ruthlessly torn into Rangers manager Danny Rohl following a dismal draw against a 10-man Motherwell side. While many expected the German coach to steer the club toward a routine victory, Boyd was left incensed by what he described as an “awful” and “inexplicable” starting lineup that backfired spectacularly on the pitch.
The Rangers icon, known for his uncompromising loyalty to the club’s standards, didn’t hold back on Sky Sports, suggesting that Rohl’s tactical experimentation was a primary reason for the dropped points. Boyd argued that by over-complicating the selection and omitting key performers in favor of untested rotations, the manager effectively handed Motherwell a lifeline they didn’t deserve.
”I’m looking at that team sheet and I’m scratching my head,” Boyd remarked during his fiery rant. “You’ve got a massive opportunity to close the gap at the top, and you’re playing players out of position or leaving your best goal-threats on the bench against ten men? It’s tactical arrogance. You don’t come to places like this and disrespect the opposition with an experimental lineup. It was an absolute shambles from the first whistle, and Rohl has to take full responsibility for this mess.”
The critique focused heavily on the lack of balance in the midfield and the inability of Rohl’s “star-studded” bench to influence the game once they were finally introduced far too late. Boyd’s dismantling of the German’s decision-making has quickly gone viral, with a large section of the Rangers support echoing his frustration. As the fallout continues, Rohl now faces his first real period of intense scrutiny, with Boyd leading the charge in questioning whether the manager truly understands the unrelenting pressure of the Scottish Premiership title race.
