Boyd article from Scotland on Sunday


Recommended Posts

I know this guy is no Rangers lover, but with apologies for starting yet another Kris Boyd link, it certainly got me thinking.

Spot on. No Boyd = No Goals = No Title

 

None of the current crop of strikers will come close to netting even 20 goals

Full agreement here - need Boyd to score the goals. We haven't got any other striker who can score anything like the number he can, even allowing for the sitters he misses.

Not scoring in 'big' games is likely a bit of a psychological issue now for him, but this should be resolved once he bags a couple of these.

RANGERS have told top gun Kris Boyd they would rather lose him for nothing than jeopardise their SPL title defence by flogging him in the January sales.

 

The exiled Scotland star Kris Boyd is out of contract in the summer and now looks set to leave the cash-strapped Light Blues on a Bosman at the end of the season.

 

But disappearing defender Madjid Bougherra could be allowed to take the Ibrox exit door earlier after showdown talks next week between his agent and chief executive Martin Bain.

 

Neither player will be short of offers with Cardiff City leading a stampede of Championship and foreign clubs, from France and Turkey, keen to land his signature and Bougherra supposedly wnated by clubs in the Premiership and Bundesliga.

 

The Bluebirds and the likes of Bristol City would be keen to do business in January for 26 year old Boyd who has netted 149 times for Rangers but Walter Smith has made it clear he will only sell him if he gets an offer he can t refuse.

 

Smith might not have played Boyd in the big games but knows his worth when it comes to SPL goals having been the Ibrox side s top scorer over the last three seasons.

 

The Rangers boss is also well aware he won t see a penny of any possible transfer fees that come his way, as the club seeks a new owner and such much-needed investment.

 

Bougherra's agent Julien Piveteau has meanwhle confired he will hold showdown talks with Rangers next week with a January departure for the Algerian international appearing more and more likely.

 

The Gers stopper who has been linked with Spurs hit the headlines again on Sunday over reports of a training ground bust-up with Kenny Miller.

 

And although the 27-year-old's agent insists he has received no official approaches, he admitted the chances of Bougherra quitting Ibrox next month are increasing.

 

He said: "Obviously, there was a small problem with Madjid returning late from international duty.After Algeria beat Egypt, he went to meet the president and didn't get back to Glasgow on time.

 

"But everything has been resolved and he likes playing for Rangers - he's happy in Scotland.Originally, Rangers told me we would discuss things at the end of this season."But the biggest issue could be their money problems.I have now arranged to go to Glasgow next week to speak to the club.After next week, we will have a clearer idea of what is likely to happen, if anything, in January."

 

Bougherra, who joined from Charlton last year in a �£2.5 million deal, has three years left on his current Rangers contract
