ian1964 10,720 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 KRIS BOYD gave Walter Smith food for thought this afternoon when he bagged a double in a bounce game against Hamilton Accies. Maurice Edu, RangersThe striker partnered Kenny Miller in attack against Billy Reid's men and was clearly out to impress ahead of Sunday's massive Old Firm encounter. The game gave run-outs to Steven Naismith and Mo Edu with youngsters Danny Wilson, Stephen Stirling, Jamie Ness and Gregg Wylde also featuring throughout the 90 minutes alongside Kirk Broadfoot and Lee McCulloch. Ness and Wylde were the others scorers for the Gers and coach Ian Durrant believes it was a worthwhile exercise. He said: "Coisty phoned up Billy Reid, they had a lack of training facilities so we thought it was an ideal opportunity for us to get a game. "We won 4-1 and I thought it was an excellent work-out. "Boydy scored a couple while Mo Edu and Stevie Naismith also got some action under their belts. "So our squad is brimming right now. "Almost everybody is fit and they are desperate to get in the gaffer's starting line-up." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Kris Boyd gave Walter Smith food for thought No he didn't. 2 goals in a bounce game against Hamilton wont stop Walter from playing it safe. 4-5-1 with Lafferty up front and Miller supporting from wide. Or those two in a 4-4-2. Smith wouldn't even consider an attacking line up with our most dangerous forward unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 846 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Surprising to see Hemdani get a run out. That answers my question about Edu on another thread about him being here or with the US. Seems he is playing well at the moment. But that defence would scare the shit out of me if it started a first team game 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FollowThe People Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 No he didn't. 2 goals in a bounce game against Hamilton wont stop Walter from playing it safe. . Agreed we already know Boydy will score in games where we win by multiple goals against pish teams in largely meaningless games. It's when we really need them he's a liability, falling on his arse, backing into defenders he can't jump with and getting caught offside umpteen times. And before anybody says 'What about Hibs 1-0, and the cup finals last season?' A Rangers number 9 needs to be getting us goals with repetitive regularity, not once in a Blue Moon. I'll be astounded if we waste a strip on him come Sunday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that if his shot had gone in against the filth at Ibrox you wouldn't have made that post. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
