Oh Boyd! Birmingham boss finally has cash to net £3m Rangers striker Kris

Rangers striker Kris Boyd will be on his way to Birmingham City in January following the takeover at St Andrew's by Hong Kong-based businessman Carson Yeung. Blues boss Alex McLeish has been promised funds in the next transfer window to secure City's Premier League status and can now meet the £3million asking price from Rangers and pay the player the £20,000-a-week wages he wants. McLeish, who was Boyd's manager with Rangers and Scotland, tried to sign him at the start of this year but did not have the finance. A pretty penny: Kris Boyd (centre) is set to demand £20,000-a-week wages But with the 26-year-old out of contract at Ibrox in the summer, Rangers will be happy with a realistic price. Boyd was the top scorer in the SPL last season but controversially retired from international football after falling out with Scotland manager George Burley. Arsenal 3 Birmingham 1: Gunners in seventh heaven as run continuesBirmingham bonanza: Yeung promises to splash out £80m on transfersBIRMINGHAM CITY FC
