Bluedell 5,348 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Rangers will consider selling striker Kris Boyd to Birmingham, if the St Andrews club increase their �£3m bid. Rangers chairman Sir David Murray told BBC Sport: "Birmingham have made an enquiry, we talked about money but we haven't agreed a fee." However, the English Championship outfit insist that an offer has already been accepted for the 25-year-old. A source at St Andrews told BBC Sport that they expect Boyd to discuss a five-year contract on Wednesday. The source at St Andrews said: "I'd be 75% certain that Kris Boyd will be a Birmingham player by the end of the week." Boyd, who was signed for Rangers by Blues boss Alex McLeish, is the top scorer in the Scottish Premier League with 18 goals. The Championship side are keen to bolster their forward line, with Garry O'Connor sidelined by injury and Quincy Owusu-Abeyie's loan period ending. McLeish signed Boyd from Kilmarnock during his time in charge of Rangers and also capped the forward when manager of Scotland. Cardiff City failed with a �£2.5m bid for Boyd in the summer but the player recently revealed that he had considered leaving Ibrox. He was frustrated at being overlooked for key matches last term but his form this season has been impressive. Rangers manager Walter Smith has made no secret of the need to prune his squad but news of a possible sale is sure to surprise supporters of the club. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/7813579.stm 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Terrible decision if true. Some clueless fans will be happy though. We can get another Kenny Miller for �£2mil. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whosthedado 1,517 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Absolutely shocking but sure a few on here will be over the moon! True enough. I can't understand any of our fans wanting rid of him. His goalscoring record is phenomenal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 This would be pretty close to being a last straw for many fans, dependent on fee. The one thing we can say with certainty is that if Boyd is sold our chances of league success are almost gone - whether you like him as a player or not, we have NO-ONE who would consistently bang in the goals to ensure wins in the SPL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
