Exclusive! New Deal For Boyd by Lindsay Herron SCOTLAND'S top striker Kris Boyd has signed a new contract extension which will tie him with Rangers into the next decade. Kris BoydBoyd blasted a remarkable 20 goals for Rangers from 20 appearances in the second half of last season after signing a three-and-a-half year contract following his transfer from Kilmarnock. That followed 17 goals for Killie in the first half of the campaign and then he notched twice for the national team on his international debut for Scotland against Bulgaria in the Kirin Cup in Japan. Now he has added a further 12 months to his deal which will keep him with the Light Blues until the summer of 2010. Manager Paul Le Guen explained: "I'm very happy that Kris has signed for another year. He is a good player and it was important to keep him. I'm convinced he can get better and better." The 22-year striker is thrilled to get the seal of approval from the new boss and revealed that he worked hard to impress him. Boyd told rangers.co.uk: "I'm delighted to have added another year to my contract. "I came back to pre-season with the attitude that I needed to impress the new management team. I think it was the same for a lot of us. "I guess I must have done something right and it's very pleasing to commit for another year! "I knew when I came to Rangers last season that I had to perform to the best of my ability. There was pressure on me but I had had a good start with Killie and I think that helped me.Kris Boyd celebrating after scoring in his first cap for Scotland "I had to perform at the same standard - or even better - and I managed to do that with the 20 goals. "We all knew towards the end of last season that changes were happening so I think we all made sure that we kept our fitness levels up so that we were ready to go work. "We knew there would be changes with new players coming in and what have you so it's great that I'm part of the plans. "It's pleasing that the new manager has shown faith in me."

I'll give this a miss too I think. New season ticket is in the Govan Rear nearly 500 quid so I'm not going to bother with another 17 especially when it's only Boro, might have thought about it had it been a big name

Has Hughes watched him recently? Surely he could have got better than Jeffers, like in the Championship for example. Candidate for first Manager sacked this season - Mark Hughes

One of the youngsters we signed from Rennes a centre half

2-0 Portugal. World Cup's coming home pppffft. The only thing coming home soon is the SPL trophy:p

Delighted Hartson is away. Fingers crossed Petrov follows soon

How poor a game was that? Ecuador are the worst team I have seen so far in the World Cup. Portugal or Holland will give England a run for their money next week. Ecuador looked scared of them

How many times have we seen Larsson do that? Cons the ref into giving him yet another penalty and then balloons it - brilliant

I think Bellamy is a great signing for Liverpool, still don't like the guy to be honest though. With another couple of signings Liverpool could challenge strongly next season

Sionk did OK when he got on, but I thought he was RIGHT sided??? He seemed to be playing left or centre when he came on

Argentina have got to be in with a shout. Just brought Messi off the bench too, not bad. The rest better watch I would say

Hope your right Gribz couldn't stand it if they got in the CL proper. A wee 2nd qualifying round exit is on the cards hopefully;)

Block 6 I think. It's in line with the 18 yard box at the Copland end.

Too right Ecuador or the Gerries will give them a run for their money in the next round that's for sure. Hardly been convincing so far

It was funny listening to the commentators, they went from scraping through the group with 5 points to winining the World Cup in the space of 5 minutes

Just got my season tickt for next year Govan Rear row F. Should be good can't wait till next season now:D

Glad we decided against Barthez. I wouldn't have been able to watch our games apart from through the cracks in my hands. The word liability was made for guys like him

The Czechs were awesome, and that was after leaving their star man Libor Sionko on the bench:p Argentina would be my bet for the tournament after the opening games.

What a shame for Boruc hopefully he will get used to disappointments over the next year or so:D Did zeroawski come out for the 2nd half?

Looking unlikely prediction at the moment 2-0 Spain alreday

There's not much to draw between the channels. Both of them have annoying folk on them

Hopefully Big Dado and the Brazilians will liven it up tonight then;)

Poor game IMO. Dunno if I'll watch the 2nd half

Fair enough point Koeman. I have never seen the guy so can't really comment on what he is like. However if Le Guen thinks he is the man for the job then we have to trust him. All of the signings so far could turn out to be poor buys, but that's a negative attitude. For what it's worth I'm delighted by the signings so far and I'm sure there will be a couple more before the start of the cmpaign

The czechs looked good in that game. Looks like Arsenal have signed themselves some player in Rosicky.
