Kris Boyd in smirking Ange Celtic exit endorsement but Rangers hero’s motivation is not what you think

Beaming Kris Boyd has backed Ange Postecoglou to swap Celtic for Leeds United – but not because it would benefit Rangers this term.

The Parkhead boss has remained among the bookies’ favourites to take over the Elland Road hotseat following the departure of Jesse Marsch, with the Premier League stating that interim boss Michael Skubala will remain in charge for an undefined period to navigate a trick fixture list. With the club looking over their shoulder at the relegation scrap, fans are keen on a quickfire appointment – and Ibrox hero Boyd admits he would like to see Postecoglou make the jump.

However, Boyd insists he would only want to see the Australian depart Celtic to show recognition of the impressive coaching going on north of the border rather than benefit his former club. He insisted the move showed the growing pedigree of the Scottish top flight in the eyes of English clubs.
