Centurion Boyd hails team-mates

Boyd netted the second in Saturday's 3-0 Homecoming Scottish Cup victory over the Buddies, with Andrius Velicka and Kenny Miller also on target.Boyd, who has reached three figures in just 146 games, told Sky Sports 1: "I'm obviously delighted to get there."It's down to my team-mates, the likes of Kenny, Steven Davis, the amount of chances they create in a game."They've done that week-in, week-out and I've managed to get myself on the end of them."Of Saturday's result he added: "We set out to get into the final. We've done that today and I'm delighted we've won the game 3-0."Miller applauded Boyd's feat, saying: "I think Boydy's being a bit modest. It's a fantastic ratio of goals to games."To get 100 goals in 146 games is incredible - at any level."He's a fantastic goalscorer."Despite netting 29 times this season, Boyd was recently overlooked for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year prize.He said: "I look back four years ago, I ended up with 39 goals and I got nowhere."I'm used to it - it doesn't bother me."As long as we keep winning games with Rangers, that's the most important thing."The only downside to Rangers' win today was an injury to midfielder Pedro Mendes, who was taken off on a stretcher after a knee-high challenge from Will Haining.Miller said: "It was more the follow through than anything else."I don't think there was any malice in it at all. He's got caught on the knee but hopefully he'll be okay."Rangers assistant boss Ally McCoist, in charge for the game, also applauded Boyd's feat.Boyd often gets criticised for doing little other than score goals but McCoist, who netted more than 250 times for Rangers, said: "He realises there can be more to his game than just scoring goals."I thought he won headers today, I thought he brought people into play."I just said to him he earned his goal today and I'm absolutely delighted for him."Of Rangers' performance, McCoist added: "I felt the second goal was absolutely crucial."I thought we very very poor in terms of our passing of the ball for an hour and then I felt we scored two great goals. It was a bit ironic actually."But I'm absolutely thrilled. A clean sheet, three different scorers and I thought we certainly played better the last half hour."McCoist revealed the extend of Mendes' injury would not be known until Sunday at the earliest."It looked a bad one and he was in a lot of pain when he came off," he said."He's iced it up just now and he's been well strapped. It's very early stages in the injury so we'll probably know better tomorrow, or perhaps Monday."
