Well, for the three seasons Boyd has been at Rangers we have only challenged for the league once. During that one season Boyd did not feature significantly in anything other than easy home games. My views on this player are well known, he has his attributes in certain situations but can be worse than a man down in others. Rangers need a main frontman who can play all the time, against all opponents.

 

The bad news tonight is that the expected striker replacement, Lafferty, now has knee ligament damage. He could only be out for a couple of weeks but I think every Rangers fan has heard that diagnosis before. Rangers may now need to sign a striker which I suspect might not have been on the agenda when the Boyd sale decision was sanctioned.
