Rangers meltdown: McAvennie stunned by what he saw in Celtic drubbing

Frank McAvennie

Celtic and West Ham legend Frank McAvennie joined the Football Insider stable in June 2020 and has not disappointed with his own brand of unique punditry. He loves talking football almost as much as he loved scoring goals, and still has close links in the dressing room at Parkhead.

Rangers didn't 'lay a glove' on Celtic in their disastrous 3-0 defeat in the first Old Firm derby on the season on Sunday.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, ex-Scotland international Frank McAvennie believes Rangers' most recent display was the worst he's seen from them at Celtic Park, agreeing with Kris Boyd's assessment that not one of their players would get into the Scottish Champions' starting eleven.

Goals from Japanese duo Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi gave the home side a 2-0 lead going into half-time before captain Callum McGregor wrapped things up with a 75th-minute close-range finish.

Rangers nowhere near Celtic in Old Firm derby

Philippe Clement's side are five points behind the current Scottish champions after just four games so far this season.

"I think Kris Boyd said it perfectly", McAvennie told Football Insider.

"When Celtic played Rangers, it doesn't matter when, you'd say four of five of the Celtic team would get in the Rangers team, and four or five of the Rangers team would get into Celtic.

"Not one Rangers player from that game at the weekend would get in the Celtic team. Not one.

"They can wrap that up any way you want, it was Kris Boyd that said that and it was very honest, it's the first time I've seen it because he was hurting.

"Boyd was hurting at the weekend and quite rightly because it was a bad performance.

"I'm a footballer, Kris Boyd is a footballer, Souness is trying to put a different spin on it.

"Honestly, if it was a boxing match it would have been stopped, Celtic battered them.

"It's the worst I've seen from a Rangers team, they never laid a glove on Celtic, it's the worst I've seen from them at Celtic Park for a long time."
