Welcome Back Skipper


Recommended Posts

KRIS BOYD is thrilled at the impeding return of Barry Ferguson tomorrow but has set a personal target of continuing on the goal trail.

 

Boyd knows the importance and significance of Ferguson's comeback as Rangers aim to draw level at the top with Celtic by beating Inverness tomorrow before the Parkhead men go to Tynecastle on Sunday.

 

However, having notched three times in the past two games, he also knows he has to keep scoring if he hopes to maintain his place in the side.

 

Boyd said: "It's a massive boost for the squad that Barry is back and once he gets his match sharpness he will be a real asset.

 

"Getting the captain back is terrific. Apart from anything else he has fantastic ability and he has a big influence on the team."

 

Many fans are excited at the prospect of seeing Ferguson and Pedro Mendes together and as our picture shows the two men have come across each other before when Fergie faced Pedro during their days with Blackburn and Tottenham.

 

Boyd is not about to predict who will be in the midfield tomorrow. He said: "Whoever the gaffer picks will look to do their best for Rangers. If it is Pedro and Barry then hopefully then can get quickly."

 

Boyd, who had hit the headlines two weeks ago over his decision to quit Scotland, has hit the net in the past two matches and he hopes to continue his run tomorrow against Inverness.

 

He said: "I managed to get a couple of goals last week and I scored again during the week which was good. Hopefully I can continue that tomorrow - if I play.

 

"When you are a striker you want to score week in, week out. The gaffer has options and you have to prove that you deserve your place."

 

The striker knows that Inverness will be tough opponents, despite losing the last four matches. He added: "They are well organised and hard to break down but it's up to us to stamp our authority on the game
