Kris Boyd Names Rangers’ Manny Fernandez Most “Underrated and Disrespected” Player
Kris Boyd doesn’t hold back, and his latest verdict has sent ripples through the Rangers fanbase. The former marksman has singled out Manny Fernandez as the squad’s most “underrated and disrespected” player, following a string of standout performances and the defender’s recent international recognition.
While much of the attention has been on Rangers’ inconsistent attacking form, Boyd has shifted focus to the defensive line. He insists Fernandez has quietly become the backbone of the team under Danny Röhl, providing the stability that allows the side to perform at its best.
Despite being relatively new to the top flight, Fernandez’s “old-school” defensive skills—strong tackling, aerial dominance, and pace—have made him an indispensable asset. Boyd argues that pundits and media outlets consistently overlook his contributions.
“He is strong in the air, has great pace, and can tackle—something that is disappearing in the modern game,” Boyd said.
Boyd expressed frustration that while goal scorers capture headlines, Fernandez’s crucial defensive work often goes unnoticed. With the title race heating up, Boyd issued a stark warning: recognize the value of Rangers’ defensive efforts, or risk paying the price at the season’s climax.
