ian1964 10,720 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 By Andrew Dickson KRIS BOYD fulfilled a childhood dream when he held the SPL trophy aloft for the first time at Tannadice this afternoon. The prolific hitman stroked home his 31st goal of the season - and the 20th of his career against Dundee United - when he grabbed the clincher in Rangers' 3-0 win. Kris Boyd and Madjid Bougherra celebrate the striker's goal at Dundee UnitedThat result allowed the Ibrox team to take the title by four points from Old Firm rivals Celtic and it was a sweet moment for everyone involved with Walter Smith's side. Boyd, like many of the players at Gers, grew up supporting the club - and that made coming out on top at the end of a fascinating season even more special. The 25-year-old said: "We're delighted. You look at the fans and see what it means to them and it's a great feeling that we've won. "This is why we all want to be at a club like Rangers. It has been a long wait for the championship since I signed on here but it has certainly been worth it. "I think today sums up our season. You've got the likes of Madjid Bougherra who was unbelievable and that's the same right through the team. "We knew we had to start really well against United this afternoon because they've made it hard for us in the past. "But as you look back over the game, we were comfortable winners and that's because of the way we set about our business. "There's not a better feeling in the world than to be celebrating a championship. When you look at everybody and see what it means, you just can't beat it." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,680 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 There was something quite fitting about Boydy scoring the final League goal of the season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Well chuffed for the big man. If anyone deserves a title out of those who have been at the club the last 3 or 4 years it is Mr Goals himself. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Not only is Boyd a goals machine but it cannot be disputed that he has been working hard on other areas of his game. He just needs to show that effort on a consistent basis now. And he is a BEAR, you can be guaranteed it meant a HUGE amount to the big man yesterday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
