Boyd focused on Rangers career

The striker bagged a double against Falkirk on Saturday to help seal a 3-1 win and bring his tally of Scottish top-flight strikes to 151 - just seven away from equalling the record held by the Celtic legend.[LNB]However, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season, speculation continues over his future with the Scottish champions.[LNB]He has been linked with a January move to Turkish side Galatasaray, having reportedly rejected the advances of Trabzonspor and Kayserispor last season.[LNB]"The manager said on Friday in his press conference that he didn't think anybody had to be sold," said Boyd.[LNB]"The most important thing is picking up the three points for the club - it doesn't matter about breaking records or anybody being sold.[LNB]"We just have to concentrate on next week's game and getting the three points. That's the most important thing."[LNB]He was also keen to play down his impressive strike record as he closes in on Larsson's milestone, adding: "It doesn't matter if it's your first or your 150th - it's a goal.[LNB]"When you're a striker, you're paid to put the ball in the back of the net.[LNB]"As long as I get myself in the right positions, I'll always have chances because of the number of chances my team-mates create for me."[LNB]Boyd is more interested in whether he will be involved in Wednesday's Champions League game against Sevilla after making only his first start in the competition proper in the last game against Stuttgart.[LNB]He limped out of the win over Falkirk with a thigh strain but said: "I feel all right and hopefully it's okay.[LNB]"I'll look forward to Wednesday night and hope I get a chance again. You would need to ask the manager if I'll play or not.[LNB]"If I don't play during the week so be it, I'll pick myself up and be ready for next week."[LNB]Rangers' AGM will take place at Ibrox on Monday, with finances set to dominate the agenda as the club continues its' search for a new owner.[LNB]And boss Walter Smith says cash is the reason why Rangers must attempt to pick up their first European win of the season in Spain this week even though they have failed to qualify for the next round of the competition regardless of the result.[LNB]He said: "There is an aspect of pride we have to look at. We will approach the game in the hope that we would get the win.[LNB]"There is still a financial aspect to put in place, there is a lot of money involved in terms of winning a game in the Champions League."[LNB]The defeat to Rangers leaves Falkirk rooted to the bottom of the SPL but boss Eddie May said: "The players have certainly improved.[LNB]"From my first game to this game, there has been a hell of a difference."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
