Kris Boyd has launched a predictable rant about Celtic's Champions League record including a call out for 'some of the cheerleaders'. Curiously Boyd avoids naming any cheerleaders.

Nobody is more clued up on Celtic's grim Champions League record than hoops fans but they are the only Scottish clubs to win any group stage matches in the last decade.

While Boyd sounds off he should apply some context and recognise that he is discussing the Scottish champions from 11 of the last 12 seasons. Every other Scottish club has an inferior record to Celtic.

Atletico are a good European side and have some world-class talents in their team. But they are not the absolute elite. There is not a chance they'll win the Champions League.

But Celtic still folded and fair play to Alistair Johnston for admitting it was "unacceptable".

Some of the cheerleaders out there should pay attention to that as I've heard a lot of nonsense about Celtic's Champions League displays in the last two seasons.

I'm told Ange Postecoglou and Rodgers played attacking football because it's "the Celtic way". Sorry, the Celtic way in the Champions League these days is to LOSE.

Then there is Rodgers and his own Champions League record with Celtic. One win in 16 games - against Anderlecht away in 2017.

Of those 75 goals conceded since 2013, 46 have been on his watch. It begs the question: Is he just a flat-track bully in Scottish football?

Rodgers is no bully but in his time in Scotland he has saw off the heralded challenges of Mark Warburton, Pedro Caixinha, Graeme Murty and Micky Beale from across the city.

During his long career Boyd never once scored in the Champions League, when it came to the biggest matches Walter Smith tended to leave the leading SPL scorer of all time on the bench at best, saving his talents for facing teams like St Mirren, Motherwell, St Johnstone and Hamilton Accies.

Boyd scored one career goal against Celtic, in a dead-rubber Glasgow derby in April 2007.
