Kris Boyd’s Team of the Year selections have sparked controversy, with many fans and pundits criticizing his choices as biased and inconsistent. A notable omission from Boyd’s lineup is a standout Celtic player who has been one of the league’s best performers. Instead, Boyd included a Rangers player whose recent form seems to have influenced his decision more than overall season performance. This has led to accusations of recency bias, where a player’s late-season impact overshadows a more consistent performer across the entire campaign.
Boyd, a former Rangers striker and now a pundit, has often been accused of favoring his former club in his analyses. His latest picks have reignited this debate, as critics argue that merit should take precedence over club allegiance. Fans of Celtic, in particular, have voiced their frustration, believing that their player deserved recognition over the chosen Rangers player.
The controversy highlights the ongoing rivalry between Celtic and Rangers, where any perceived favoritism fuels passionate reactions. While personal opinions are a natural part of football discussions, many believe that pundits like Boyd should strive for objectivity, ensuring that individual brilliance is acknowledged fairly, regardless of club affiliation.
