Kris Boyd is surely on the Rangers wind up with ridiculous suggestion | OneFootball

Let’s dive into the latest Scottish football buzz! Kris Boyd, the former striker, is at it again. This time, he’s teasing the possibility of Rangers signing Greg Taylor from Celtic when his deal ends. Just for some background, these two clubs are eternal rivals, in case you weren’t aware. They truly dislike each other. So when someone like Boyd gets involved in this fantastical trade, you can’t help but wonder what his angle is. For their part, fans of both clubs, as well as some in the media, have reacted with something close to disbelief, mixed with both humor and anger.

Boyd is, of course, an infamous character both on (when he played) and off (in his punditry work) the pitch. He so evidently enjoys winding up people. So when he brought this up, you can bet that it riled up a few folk. The thought of Taylor in a Rangers jersey and, conversely, of what it would be like if a current Rangers player suddenly found himself playing for Celtic, is almost “cats and dogs sharing a bed” territory. It is just that “out there.” Utterly ridiculous, but all too entertaining to watch.

Now let’s consider Greg Taylor for a moment. He is undeniably good in his role as an out-and-out defender for Celtic. Could he really switch sides, practically overnight, to join Rangers? It’s a little like moving from Marvel to DC—rival storytelling empires that can’t even be imagined as part of the same universe! If he were to join Rangers and walk into Ibrox wearing that blue kit, how would he even begin to explain himself to those legions of fans in all of the green out there? At its core, this would be a simple transfer. But you could hardly call it that, not with the reams of backstory on all sides.

Kris Boyd isn’t just flinging out random comments for the sake of it; he knows full well that his words can capture the imagination of fans and grab their attention. It’s almost as if he enjoys the prospect of watching them squirm as they try to reason out whether what he’s said might actually come to pass. And let us not kid ourselves: the fun rumors are what keep us going during those long breaks between matches, and even in the stretches between match intervals. We’re a society that absolutely loathes silence. We’d rather be figuring out how to make the next “big thing” happen—especially when it’s something like a potentially explosive move of a key player or two.

Whether Kris Boyd is serious or just having a laugh doesn’t really matter—people are paying attention. And isn’t that what football is all about? We love our teams to death (sometimes literally, but that’s a different conversation), and a hint of drama makes our hearts race faster than a last-minute goal. So, keep your eyes peeled because who knows what will happen next in this tale? After all, when it comes to football banter, anything can and does happen.
