papaguy51 912 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 It should be noted that Boyd and Miller have managed 18 minutes together as a partnership against Celtic this season. In those 18 minutes, they have scored twice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinho1982 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I'd sooner have a 4-4-1-1 with novo playing just behind miller or lafferty If we do manage to dominate in possesion, then bring boyd on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 So if Boyd picks up a booking against St Johnstone next week he will still be OK for the OF game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SandyIniesta-Nordahl Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 A bit off topic, but does anyone else think McFenian intentionally got himself booked, in order to clear his record for the Rangers game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 So if Boyd picks up a booking against St Johnstone next week he will still be OK for the OF game? i think if he gets booked he would miss the game after the OF, unless of course he gets sent off against st.johnston. but i'd imagine he can keep his heid for that one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 358 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Good news for us if Boydy can play because he's capable of punishing that weakened defense of theirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibleedblue 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I think the last two games have proved that lafferty looks better coming on as a sub and not playing up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRangers 2 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 People need to remember that Boyd and Kenny are just back from injury and are still yet to reach full fitness and sharpness, i think that both were as bad as each other at times today, most notably playing to far apart.

FlippinEck 3,737 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Id love to see Boyd and Miller up against Thompson (struggled against mackie) and O dea or any other inexperienced centre back celtic have to offer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markybear 136 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 So if Boyd picks up a booking against St Johnstone next week he will still be OK for the OF game? yes.the ban starts 14days after last booking. So if he's booked on sat then his suspension wud start 2wks later. I'm positive this is the case anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Rangers manager Walter Smith was relieved to learn that Kris Boyd has not been ruled out of this month's Old Firm derby against Celtic. The striker was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 3-0 win over third-placed Hibernian at Ibrox. "I looked at the list during the week and, when he got booked, I thought he might have been out," said Smith. "But the referee says it was for obstruction, which is just a two-point one, so he has a point to go yet." Boyd, who went on to net his 21st goal of the season as the Scottish champions restored their 10-point lead, appeared to elbow Hibs midfielder Merouane Zemmama in the face three minutes before the break. A caution for violent conduct would have put the striker through the disciplinary points barrier and meant he would miss the 28 February meeting with closest-rivals Celtic at Ibrox. "We are pleased to have him, there is no doubt about that," said Smith. "Kris Boyd and Kenny Miller are just coming back from injury and it's important they have a bit of continuity. "That would mean Kris can play, so we are pleased about that." Rangers had their lead cut to eight points in midweek after a draw with Motherwell, but the roles were reversed this weekend after Aberdeen fought back to hold Celtic 4-4. "Everybody makes all these assumptions - it was 10 points and then it was eight points and, when it was eight points, we weren't going to win the league," said Smith. "People don't give enough credit to the other teams in Scotland and they think it's easy for the Old Firm to win games. It's not. "We are delighted to have the 10-point gap, but you know the consequences of not winning, so nothing should be taken for granted and I don't think we would." Indeed, Smith pointed out that Hibs had given his side a tough battle as the Edinburgh side sought to move to within two points of Celtic. "We had to work extremely hard for the three points," said Smith. "It was a good advert for Scottish football. "It was going to take something special to win it and Steven Whittaker's goal was just that." Smith admitted that he had perhaps expected too much of winger DaMarcus Beasley, who was hauled off at half-time, with replacement Kyle Lafferty setting up that first goal. Beasley has just returned from an injury that cut short a fine spell of form and Smith thought he had possibly been brought into the team too early. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ers/8515320.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del 667 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Had a wee look and couldnt see a thread about this, but its been confirmed that Boyd will be able to play in the Old Firm game. His yellow card was only worth 2points rather than the 3 needed to pick up a ban. Im delighted, well done The Establishment! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
