ian1964 10,416 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 .............all over again to earn long-term deal at Ibrox. THE striker, who returned to Ibrox on a one-year contract, insists he must do the business to pave the way for an additional agreement beyond his 12 months. KRIS BOYD admitted last night that he needs to prove himself all over again to earn a long-term deal at Rangers. The 30-year-old returned to Ibrox in the summer on a one-year contract. Boyd appears open to the idea of extending his stay but is adamant he must do the business to pave the way for an additional agreement beyond his 12 months. The striker said: “For me it wasn’t about how long I signed for. It was just about getting myself back in the door at this club and scoring goals. “I have been given the chance to do that and now it’s up to me to put on performances that could mean I might deserve a long contract. “Over the years I’ve said I have maybe slipped into a comfort zone when I have been on a longer contract. “So for me right now it’s more beneficial to be working on a year-to-year basis. It gives me a challenge to prove I can still do it. “Last year at Kilmarnock I wanted to get back playing games and scoring goals. “I’m not back at Rangers to muck about. I want to get myself back scoring goals at the rate I was in my first spell at this club and hopefully I can do it for years to come.” Despite being 20th on the all-time list of Rangers’ leading scorers with 128 and also the record SPL marksman, Boyd knows nothing is set in stone as regards a long-term future at Ibrox. He added: “That’s out of my hands. The main thing for me is to score goals. “I’m not saying I’m going to score 35 to 40 next season and they better give me a five-year contract. That’s how football is nowadays. “The most important thing is getting this club back to where it belongs. And if I play my part in that then I will have a strong case to stay longer. “You can’t take anything for granted. That’s been my philosophy since I left here. “But I’m happy, I’m settled, I’m back home and I want to concentrate on my football again.” http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-star-kris-boyd-admits-3882651 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Aird is capable of making a barrow load of goals for him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Aird is capable of making a barrow load of goals for him. I ain't convinced Aird is capable of making goals for anyone mate. I am gutted at how poor he has developed in the last 3 or 4 years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Unicorn Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Really happy that we signed him - especially as Aberdeen and others were in for him as well. Saying all the right things above. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am gutted at how poor he has developed in the last 3 or 4 years. Not a fan at all. I'd far rather see McKay get a shot. He actually has some ability. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Not a fan at all. I'd far rather see McKay get a shot. He actually has some ability. This is what annoys me about Fraser, and several others who have spent years training with us btw. Why doesn't he have any actual technical ability? We have been grooming him for years as a winger yet he still can't really hit a dead ball, his crossing is still poor and he has absolutely no one on one skill to beat a man. What has he been doing at training since he came to Rangers? His physique however is rather impressive, is that what it is all about? Having nice abs and arms but no ability? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 We should get some good amunition from midfield this season, Law (9+10*), Aird (5+8), Templeton (3+8), McKay, Peralta (1+5) and Macleod (5+5) are all able to deliver here. Our main threat from the wings was Wallace though, with 3 goals and 12 assists. Miller is also a decent enough team player and Daly, like him or not, whipped in with 20 goals and 10 assists too. Clark stood at 9 goals and 5 assists. It all depends on the formation McCoist will use and whether the players are up for it. It very much looks like we have a bit of competition in the whole attack and midfield department and one would expect that McCoist fields the best personnel available. Alas, the latter as well as tactics used left quite a bit to be desired these last two seasons. And I fully expect to see McCulloch being used somewhere ... just because. (Obviously, he might utterly surprise us all ... McCulloch that is, yet I wouldn't bet on this.) *(goals+assists - 2013/14 league games only) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I think stats will be down given we are going to be up against a slightly better quality of opposition. It's time these players gave something back and stood up to be counted. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
