BangerboyRangers defender Jayden Meghoma has broken his silence following a barrage of criticism from pundit Kris Boyd, who labeled the youngster’s performance in the 3-2 defeat to Motherwell as “overrated” and the worst he had ever seen. The loanee, who was substituted during the match as manager Danny Rohl sought to overturn a two-goal deficit, has reportedly demanded action and respect after what he perceives as a personal and unprofessional attack on his character. The defeat at Ibrox was a significant blow to the club’s title ambitions, leaving them trailing rivals Celtic and league leaders Hearts, but the fallout has shifted from the pitch to the commentary booth.
Meghoma, who has been a consistent figure in the lineup recently, was singled out by Boyd for his defensive lapses as Motherwell’s Emmanuel Longelo and Lukas Fadinger ran riot in the first half. While Boyd’s “eruption” on live television captured the frustration of the Ibrox faithful, the player’s camp is said to be furious with the nature of the comments. Sources close to the defender suggest he has spoken out internally, calling for the club to address the “disrespectful” narrative being pushed by former players. Meghoma believes that while tactical criticism is part of the game, the hyperbole used—labeling him a “star” who is failing to live up to a non-existent hype—crosses a line into targeted harassment.
The clash of words adds further pressure to a Rangers squad already reeling from back-to-back matches where they conceded early leads. Manager Danny Rohl now faces the task of managing a fractured dressing room morale while preparing for a critical run-in. For Meghoma, the focus remains on responding to the “overrated” tag on the pitch, but his demand for action highlights a growing divide between modern players and the traditional, often harsh, punditry style exemplified by Boyd. As the title race reaches a fever pitch, this internal drama is the last thing the Glasgow giants need.
