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.

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."

  13. Its my understanding that mogga had an agreement with­ nancy, he could take fortune to WBA for £2.7m, My­ thoughts are even at £2.7m we could get better. However­ it will be this figure Peter Lawell will be trying to­ do the deal for.
