Boyd motivated by previous failure
The Ibrox side fell at the final hurdle this time last year when a crippling fixture list finally took its toll and they surrendered the championship to Celtic on the final day.
This time around, Boyd knows there can be no excuses, with a win against Dundee United at Tannadice enough to see Rangers crowned Scottish champions regardless of Celtic's result against Hearts.
Boyd told Rangers World: "When you look back at last year, a lot of people were tired. On Sunday, I don't think anybody will be tired.
"We will be ready to face Dundee United. Last year we were disappointed and hopefully we can use that anger and disappointment to get us over the line on Sunday."
Tannadice has been a notoriously difficult venue for Walter Smith's men in recent seasons but Boyd believes the backing of the travelling support could make all the difference.
"They are behind us most weeks anyway," he said.
"The last few times at Ibrox it's been great with the atmosphere and hopefully they can help us on Sunday."
Having clinched his 30th goal of the season, the normally prolific striker has failed to find the target in the last three matches.
But, with a title up for grabs, Boyd insists he could not ask for a bigger incentive to rediscover his goalscoring form.
He said: "There are always a few clubs you manage to get a couple of goals against and hopefully at the weekend I can get back on the scoresheet.
"A lot of my goals are down to my team-mates and how well they've done and how the chances are created for me.
"I know as long as I keep myself in the box, they'll be able to find me and I'll be able to put them away."
