ian1964 10,440 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 I see Boyd scored another couple of goals v Hearts, should have had more, also noticed Thompson scored a couple for St Midden v Dundee Hibs! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I saw he scored again and the Beeb website had another picture of him, and once again he looks physically in the best shape of his life. If only he had looked after himself when younger at his peak I think he could have been a better player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Boyd is what he always has been which is a goal scorer/poacher, especially if the team play to his strengths, i.e. give him the ball around or near the goal He's never had pace, he's never been a worker, in his last SKY and most other interviews he openly admits that and we can all see that. He is a bloody good goal scorer simple as that, he still doesn't get the recognition from some Rangers fans after the amount of goals he scored for us during his time here which is shocking IMO. I wish we had someone like him playing for us now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had someone like him playing for us now. Most of the criticism at Boyd was the lack of goals in big games and the fact he needed to have a strike partner that did all the work. I would rather have him than Daly though because he might still be of some use in a couple years when we are back in the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was rarely played in big games such as Celtic and in Europe mainly due to Walter playing one up front, which Boyd couldn't do. He has also said Miller was his best strike partner and again because he done most of the work and Boyd scored most of the goals. It's a team game and everyone has a different role. If he was an all round player he wouldn't have stayed at Rangers for very long and he would've played in more big games, but he isn't and he didn't but he was one hell of a goal scorer!!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 daly is 7 months older than boyd and frankly will likely have a longer career looking at both their fitness levels. There's no chance in hell of Daly being good enough to be a regular in the SPFL. At least I hope not. Boyd could get us 20+ goals, Daly would be more like 10 and I don't know what the point in signing him was. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I expect daly would get 20 in the spl no problem. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 At utd he was 15, 15 and 22. So 20 at rangers looks simple. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Most SPL strikers stuggle to make the step up at the old firm. If we are wanting to compete with Celtic we will need shot of shite like Daly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
