Kris Boyd doesn’t believe Gio van Bronckhorst will rip up his Rangers team after Saturday’s thumping from Celtic.
The Gers are in Amsterdam ahead of kick off their Champions League Group A campaign against Ajax and a reaction will be expected to the weekend’s Old Firm defeat. The Light Blues were down and out by half-time as the Hoops raced into a three-goal lead before David Turnbull added a fourth late on to compound the misery for their rivals.
Now attention turns to European football once again. Van Bronckhorst ’s men enjoyed success in the Netherlands a fortnight ago when Antonio Colak’s winner against PSV sent them through to the lucrative group stage. Boyd says they can take encouragement from that, but reckons the Dutch champs or an a different level to their domestic rivals even after regenerating yet again this summer following the departure of their manager and several first team stars.
