Kris Boyd has revealed he has received offers from abroad as he considers whether to sign a new contract at Rangers.

 

The Scotland striker's current deal at Ibrox expires in the summer and he has been offered an extension by the SPL champions.

 

However, there is plenty of interest in the 26-year-old, with Birmingham City and Middlesbrough both keen to offer Boyd a move to England.

 

Wolves, Wigan Athletic and Championship winners Newcastle United are also rumoured to be interested, while reports claim Turkish duo Ankaragucu and Bursaspor want the former Kilmarnock forward.

 

Boyd accepts he faces a difficult decision regarding his future and will spend the next few weeks assessing where to play his football next season.

Careful consideration

 

"There is a lot for me to think about," Boyd told the Daily Record. "This is an important stage in my career and my life.

 

"I'm going away on holiday with my family next week and we will discuss our options.

 

"I do have offers from the continent to consider and playing abroad is something that appeals to me.

 

"I will give everything careful consideration and hopefully can reach a decision during the next three weeks."

Birmingham released Chucho Benitez today.. decided not to sign him after a loan deal. He played 30 times for them this season so make of that what you will.

Ankaragucu the team that were so "nice" to Vassell and Rotten also played there. They must have money about them but hardly inspiring clubs, Buraspor included.

Neither of those Turkish outfits are the ones that were previously mentioned as being interested in taking Boydy to Turkey, so if this paper talk is to be believed then that's now at least 4 Turkish clubs that have been after Boyd. Sounds like BS to me. :box:

I've got a feeling Turkish teams like teams from northern Europe as they see them as "exotic", kind of the same way we see South Americans. Scots are cheap versions of "British" players and so might be seen as a bargain who placates the demands of the fans.

Must admit I'd never have thought I'd see the day Kris Boyd or Maurice Ross would be described as exotic on this forum....

I would like more Scots to move abroad than goto the Championship, add something different to the national team. I don't want Boyd to go there, it might be a little hot for him as well

Ach, the heat's only a problem if you're running around a lot, so it shouldn't affect Boydy's prolificity that much :spl:
