From what I have seen, Kyle Lafferty is a much superior footballer to Kris Boyd. However, is he as good a goalscorer ? Only time will tell.

 

If Boyd leaves tomorrow, as seems highly likely, I don't expect Rangers to sign a striker replacement. So maybe big Kyle is going to get the chance to play in his natural position which he has been very patiently waiting for.

 

The popular but unproven old theory of "if Boyd wasn't scoring the goals against the diddy teams then nobody else would be" is about to be put to the test.

 

I'll tell you what, I'd rather go to The Piggery in February with big Lafferty up front than Boyd.
