Ross County's victory over Rangers has shifted the title race in favor of Celtic, leading to scathing assessments of Rangers' performance.
Ross County dealt Rangers a hammer blow in the race for the title and there were no complaints among the pundits that the Staggies deserved it in Dingwall.
He said on Sky Sports: "When you're in a title race, you need to win games. Since Clement has come in, Rangers have got back into a position where they can win it. But once you're in the position, you've got to believe you can win the title. Ross County had never beaten Rangers before and there was the stat about Ross County's record when they go behind. That can all go in the bin now.
Host Eilidh Barbour later asked Boyd if Rangers needed an early scare to spark them into life. But he wasn't having that as he said: "That's a myth. Whenever anybody says you want to go behind to an early goal to wake you up, or that you've scored too early, it's a myth. If you find yourself ahead when you've not been great, you come out in the second half and lift it. Rangers were worse in the second half.
"This Rangers team should have been good enough to win. We've praised Clement all season for getting a tune out of the players. Maybe today he'll look at this and think he made too many changes. For Ross County to carry that much of a threat to Rangers, that surprised me." On BBC's radio coverage, former Gers striker Billy Dodds admitted it was a "body blow" for Clement - who he thinks will need some time to get his head around what just happened. He said: "Philippe Clement would have bit your hand off for a point at the end because it would then be a straight shootout for the title with Celtic if they managed to win all of their games.
