Kris Boyd slams what he’s hearing about Martin O’Neill at Celtic, as he fires shots at Brendan Rodgers

Let’s be honest, Brendan Rodgers leaving Celtic was the best thing to happen this season.

Yes, many Celtic fans stand with Rodgers and his vocal stance towards the board, but the fact of the matter is, everything else was stale, and it was showing in the performances.

That was proven by Martin O’Neill returning to the Celtic Park dugout for the first time in two decades, and bringing a new lease of life to the place.

But how old school coaches like O’Neill are being viewed in the modern game isn’t sitting well with Kris Boyd.

Before O’Neill returned to Glasgow, he was doing punditry work around the shop, including ranting about xG and the nonsense around it in the modern game.

Boyd told the Warm Up Podcast that managers like O’Neill are viewed as ‘dinosaurs’ for not going with the flow of modern football, and its ‘buzzwords.’

But Boyd thinks the returning Celtic hero has proven, in his two games in charge, that he is still ‘elite’ at what he does.

“Where do you think this leaves Brendan Rodgers?” said Boyd. “For me, he is an elite manager for a period of time.

“But, you would have said 73-year-old Martin O’Neill was outdated. His time was by, and you would never have seen him back managing again.

“But he has come back in and managed to get a bounce out of this group that was very, very flat. It doesn’t look good for Rodgers right now.

“When you look at Celtic in the last few months. I know they have been winning games, but you expect them to win games for the quality that they have. I don’t think it’s been at the level Celtic have shown in recent years.

It wasn’t so long ago that Rodgers was comparing the Celtic team to Honda Civics after losing at relegation-threatened Dundee.

Fast forward to the present, and Celtic’s win over Rangers at Hampden, it’s not a good look on the departing coach.

“Brendan Rodgers continuously asked for better players,” added Boyd. “Two weeks ago, he was comparing them to Honda Civics, which doesn’t look great.

“There had to be some players in that Celtic dressing room, after that Dundee game, who were absolutely fuming.

“After the level of consistency, and what they have done. He knew exactly what he was doing.”

Kris Boyd has slammed what he’s hearing about Martin O’Neill at Celtic, defending the veteran manager’s strong start. Boyd thinks O’Neill’s experience and ability to galvanize the team are being overlooked due to his age and unconventional approach. He’s also taken a swipe at Brendan Rodgers, saying O’Neill’s two games in charge have shown he’s still “elite” at what he does, and questioning Rodgers’ legacy. Boyd believes O’Neill’s proven track record and leadership skills make him a valuable asset to Celtic, despite some fans viewing him as old-fashioned
