Rangers legend Kris Boyd has had plenty to say about the club this season, and not all of it has been good.
From comments on Borna Barisic [Scottish Sun] to questioning the relationship of Steven Gerrard and Mark Allen, he’s not held back at times.
But his latest comments are a little more positive. The burly striker believes Rangers could well be in with a shout of convincing the talented David Turnbull his future is at Ibrox.

Speaking on SPFL Matters on Sky Sports Football (10:15pm, 17/05/2019), Kris Boyd said:
“I think there’s a potential that he could actually move this season. I think that’s how good a season he has had.

“When Rangers and Celtic come calling, it is very difficult to say no, and we all know nowadays in football, if you don’t take that opportunity, it might not come again, and I think, if Motherwell were to get a very, very good offer in the summer, it will be very hard to turn down.”
Boyd’s comments come after what has been a superb season for Turnbull at Motherwell. His performances earned him the FW Young Player of the Year award and even had some comparing him to Germany legend Michael Ballack.

Are Rangers willing to stump that up and beat the rest of the pack to the player’s signature?
