The leading pundit has full respect for Philippe Clement and his galvanising Ibrox U-turn.
Celtic icon Chris Sutton reckons Philippe Clement is the real deal who gives Rangers an authority which was posted missing under Michael Beale.
When asked the importance for Clement to emerge victorious, Boyd was unequivocal on the need for the Belgian and his players to reign supreme on Sunday. He added: "Huge, not only for himself, I think for the title race. You have got a chance at home, it gives you that opportunity to get that first victory over Celtic. Looking at Rangers, they are in a good place."But Boyd interjected: "Very lucky to be in the dugout, I must add.
"Brendan Rodgers will have a decision to make and Celtic are a better team with McGregor in it. But if he's not fit, or even half-fit, then he can't play. But it's a big boost for Celtic having Reo Hatate back with him coming through against Livingston, plus Cameron Carter-Vickers too."
