Boyd is on a fine run at the moment, recently claiming his 100th goal for Rangers before bringing his tally for the season to 30 on Sunday.[LNB]But one complaint levelled against the prolific hitman is his inability to find the back of the net against Celtic.[LNB]He has scored just once in 18 career appearances against the Hoops - two years ago - but Rangers assistant boss McCoist has predicted Boyd will be on target at Ibrox on Saturday.[LNB]He said: "Kris is a man with a lot of confidence at the moment and his total against Celtic is just a statistic. We all know Boydy can score against anybody.[LNB]"He has scored at international level and in European competitions as well as in domestic games so there is no doubting what he can do.[LNB]"I really hope this is a game that is set up for him. When you look at the strikers and some of the things that are written in the stars for them, I hope this is one of them.[LNB]"Kris has had a terrific season and it was a wonderful achievement for him to reach 100 goals for the club recently.[LNB]"So early in his Rangers career, I hope it's the first hundred of many. You never know what could happen. I certainly wish him luck with that.[LNB]"People earn their luck and if Boydy were to get the winner this weekend against Celtic, nobody would be more pleased than me. And I include Kris in that."[LNB]Celtic head into the final Old Firm derby of the season with a single-point advantage at the summit of the Scottish Premier League.[LNB]McCoist told Rangers News: "This is a massive game and it goes without saying that that's the case. It always is when the Old Firm meet.[LNB]"It's vitally important with regards to the destination of the title that we pick up points in this one.[LNB]"The derbies are always huge and it's difficult to rank them in any sort of order but this one is going to be about as vital as they come."[LNB][LNB]
