Kris Boyd predicts Rangers axe to fall on Gio as gutted Ibrox hero adamant title race is OVER

Kris Boyd declared the Scottish Premiership title race OVER and reckons Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s time as Rangers manager is also up. The former Ibrox strike hero called the league after just 15 games following a drab 1-1 draw for his old club at St Mirren which saw them drop more points - 10 in total surrendered on the road this season - in the Premiership.

James Tavernier netted a penalty to rescue a point after Jonah Ayunga’s opener for St Mirren but they couldn’t find the winner and Boyd, on Sky Sports duty, believes it would only have papered over the cracks as he predicted Van Bronckhorst could be heading for the exit before he’s even reached the first anniversary of his appointment.

Boyd said: “When you go on this run - they’ve been to St Johnstone and lost, limped over the line against Hearts and drop more points here - the title is over and I’ve got a funny feeling now so is Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s time as Rangers manager. If Rangers had scored a winning goal there it would have papered over the cracks. There’s trouble, there’s no doubt about it. There’s problems in that Rangers dressing room, whatever they may be.
