Boyd smashed Henrik Larsson's Scottish Premier League scoring record with five goals in a 7-1 win over Dundee United at Ibrox taking his tally to 160.[LNB]Kilmarnock boss Jefferies, who sold Boyd to the Light Blues four years ago, praised the ex-Rugby Park striker and said that staving off bids for the player in the January transfer window could go a long way towards Rangers retaining the SPL title.[LNB]The Ibrox club are seven points clear of Celtic ahead of their Old Firm derby at Parkhead on Sunday where Boyd will be looking to add to his tally.[LNB]"You have to say that Boydy is simply a terrific goalscorer," Jefferies said. "He is a dangerous player, with terrific instinct and technique in and around the box.[LNB]"Dundee United must be sick of the sight of him.[LNB]"He always seems to score against them and he scored five against them when he was at Kilmarnock.[LNB]"But that's what he is capable of doing.[LNB]"People say he doesn't score against the big teams but there are very few teams he hasn't scored against.[LNB]"If you give him the right service then he will put the ball in the net and people are actually surprised when he misses a chance.[LNB]"And like all top scorers he has great belief in himself and does not let missed chances upset him.[LNB]"He has the attitude, like all top scorers, that they are in there to miss the chances and if another chance comes along they will score.[LNB]"Rangers will be desperate to hang on to him when the transfer window opens, although his value will have increased again.[LNB]"Although they are not a one-man team, as we have seen in the past, his goals could win the league for them."[LNB][LNB]
