It looks like Kris Boyd is still bitter about the Rangers’ liquidation back in 2012 and continues to point the finger towards everyone but the club.

The wounds inflicted by the Rangers’ liquidation back in 2012 is still fresh in the memory of the club’s supporters. Don’t believe us? Just ask Kris Boyd.

The Rangers fans have continued to argue that the resurrected version of the club is the same one as the one that went out of business almost a decade earlier. But how sensitive they are regarding the incident suggests otherwise.

Now we all know what happened and we will not go into too much detail about it and to be honest, the incident should be one that is forgotten by this point. But funnily enough it is the Rangers camp that continues to bring it up, somehow trying to rewrite history in order to suit themselves.

And this time it Kris Boyd’s turn to take a punt. The former Rangers wrote in his column in The Scottish Sun:

"“I have to laugh, though. All the talk of operating for the benefit of everyone in Scottish football cracks me up, it really does.“I realised in 2012 everyone was in it for themselves when they sent the biggest club in this country to the bottom tier.”"

Now it is pretty clear that Boyd is still bitter about the incident. What is unclear though is what he wanted to achieve by making the statement? What did he expect the others to do when the Rangers went bust?

Did he expect the other clubs to pay off the debts that they had accumulated over the years? Or did he just expect them to be given a free pass into the top division of Scottish football?

Boyd can try to twist the incident anyway he wants but the fact remains that it was the Rangers fault and their fault alone that they went out of business in 2012. And it was fair on all the clubs that they had to make their way back into the top division as a ‘new’ club.
