Scottish Premier League - Boyd wants Ferguson to stay

Eurosport - Mon, 05 Jan 10:17:00 2009

Rangers striker Kris Boyd is hoping Newcastle target Barry Ferguson will stay at Ibrox.

2008 Rangers Barry Ferguson - 0

Magpies boss Joe Kinnear has shown an interest in the midfielder, who previously spent a disappointing 18-month spell in England with Blackburn.

Gers boss Walter Smith says there has been no approach from the Magpies for his captain, but acknowledged he has no influence over what bids may come in.

Boyd is also aware a big-money offer could tempt Rangers into accepting, but he is keen for Ferguson to snub any return to English football.

"We know in this market everyone has his price and whatever happens happens - that's the way football is," Boyd told the Daily Record.

"But I'm sure Barry wants to stay here and play his football with Rangers.

"He has left the club once before and didn't particularly enjoy his time down south. Now he's enjoying it and he's back to being the player he once was.

"We don't want to lose him and I'm sure the manager won't want to lose him either because he's such a huge influence on the team."
