Boyd happy with Scotland decision

April 30, 2009

Rangers striker Kris Boyd scored his 100th goal at the weekend but is still adamant that he made the right decision in quitting Scotland and does not regret the move.

“Whatever happened in January happened and it’s not worth a thought,” he said.

“I’ve got my head down and worked hard from then until the end of the season. I’m happy here and I want to continue to play at Rangers.”

“I made my decision at the time, I’ve come back to club level and I’m happy,” he explained.

“I’m enjoying my football again and I’ll continue doing that.”

He added: “I’m not wanting to speak about it. The most important thing for me is to concentrate on Rangers at this precise moment in time, and whatever happens in time with Scotland happens.”

Boyd quit after failing to come off the bench in a goalless draw against Norway. Boyd also struggles to hold down a regular place in the big games for Rangers, most notably in their UEFA cup run last season but he has started to feature more this term.

“I have worked a bit harder and the goals have still been there,” explained Boyd.

“So, as long as I can continue that, hopefully I can stay in the team until the end of the season and hopefully we can win the championship and Scottish Cup.”

Boyd also credited Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist in helping him become a more mature player.

“When I decided what I did with Scotland I had to prove to myself I was good enough at club level again.

“And I’ve done that, I’ve got myself back in the team; starting most weeks and hopefully that will continue until the end of the season.”
