Boyd Insists Aberdeen Draw Could Be A “Good Result” For Rangers

Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd believes the Light Blues’ 2-2 draw against Aberdeen last night could well be a good result if it impacts their performance against Celtic at the weekend.

The TV pundit thinks manager Steven Gerrard could use the disappointment of dropping two points at Pittodrie to motivate his players ahead of the League Cup final on Sunday:

“It might just be a good result here – not in terms of the league – but for Sunday looking forward to that, Steven Gerrard can deliver the message of ‘if we are not on it then we are going to get punished again’.”

“It might be a blessing in disguise here. They will still be raging that they dropped the points in the league but for the cup, Gerrard can use this. He can refer back to this and you would think that Rangers would learn from their second-half performance.”


Boyd is very much clutching at straws with this claim. After the match, Gerrard was very disappointed with his side squandering a comfortable 2-0 lead and the result was a setback for Ger’s title hopes.

There is no doubt that they would have preferred to have gone into the clash against Celtic off the back of a win, but they won’t have time to focus on the disappointment.

The players should need no extra motivation ahead of the game at Hampden Park with Gerrard looking to get his first trophy under his belt as Rangers manager.
