Champions League - Boyd craves Euro chance

Eurosport - Sun, 28 Jun 14:22:00 2009

Rangers striker Kris Boyd has pleaded with boss Walter Smith to give him a chance in the Champions League next season, claiming he is now mature enough to play at the highest level.

FOOTBALL 2008-2009 Scottish Premier League Rangers Kris Boyd - 0

The striker has won every domestic trophy with Rangers, as well as netting more than 100 goals for the Ibrox club, but has never started a game in Europe's premier club competition.

"I've done just about everything I wanted to do in my Rangers career. I have won the title, cups, scored 100 goals and played for Scotland," he told the Sunday Mail. "But I haven't started a game in the Champions League and next season I want to be part of it. I want to stamp my authority on that tournament."

The striker added "I'm the first to admit I had a lot of daftness about me early on in my career.

"I was young and naive. I tended to follow other people and was influenced by them. But you have to grow up and realise what is right and wrong.

"I feel I'm ready and believe I can play at that level. If I'm lining up at Ibrox with that Champions League music on it will confirm I've matured in to the player I need to be.

"It will show I have grown in to the kind of man who can be successful at a club like Rangers. I want to build on that and show I deserve to be there."
