Kris Boyd completed his dream move to Ibrox in January 2006, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal.<\/STRONG><\/P>

The transfer ended months of speculation linking him with a switch to Ibrox and to say that he has done well since his arrival would be an understatement.<\/P>

The striker has proved prolific in front of goal at every level of his career and represented Scotland at under-18 and under-21 level before making his full debut in the 5-1 Kirin Cup win over Bulgaria on May 11 2006, a match in which he scored twice. <\/P>

A product of the Kilmarnock youth system, Boyd burst into the first team in May 2001 to help the Rugby Park side to a 1-0 victory over Celtic.<\/P>

Thereafter he was a regular for the Ayrshire outfit and netted 68 goals in 116 starts.<\/P>

One of his finest moments came against Dundee United in September 2004 when he bagged all five goals in a 5-2 win.<\/P>

Such a prolific player was always going to attract attention from other clubs and he passed up the chance to move to Wolves, Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday during his time at Killie.<\/P>

Boyd started season 2005\/2006 in blistering form and charged to the top of the scoring charts with 17 goals by Christmas.<\/P>

Alex McLeish had always been an admirer of the 22-year-old and made his move to snap up the towering striker in December, ahead of the transfer window opening on January 1.<\/P>

Boyd is good with his feet and excellent in the air and finished the season as Scotland's most prolific hitman with an incredible 39 goals for club and country.<\/P>

He was also the first player in the SPL to be the top scorer at two club's in the same season.<\/P>
