Despite falling for the spin and hype over Micky Beale and Phil Clement only to end up looking like the thick cousin of the Village Idiot the former Scotland striker just can’t bring himself to predict a Celtic title win.
Boyd’s team managed to drop points in 16 SPFL matches, they never won in four visits to St Mirren and Hibs, under two different managers they went seven matches at Ibrox without a victory. The did from Southampton isn’t going to resolve that in less than three months.

50 is a landmark, 60 less so, 10 is notable but 55? No one cared or cares but if that lot want to make a song and dance over 55, if they want to trash Glasgow city centre, if they want to vandalise statues over that number then it is…
According to Boyd some soothing words on Monday morning from Sir David would have resolved the issues of the Queens Park defeat, clearly the phrase succulent lamb has never been explained to the Sky Sports expert.
I don’t know where to start. Who made the decision? There’s no CEO. I just don’t know – who’s making the decisions? There’s nobody above him.
The SFA have given further endorsement to the relationship between Kris Boyd and Willie Collum.During a recent episode of The Warm Up the small talk between Gordon Duncan and Boyd revealed that phone calls had taken place with the Head of Refereeing over the decision not to give Nicolas Kuhn…
Boyd: How do you know that I haven’t spoken to him?
Duncan: I know that you have spoken to him.
