Here's two for starters:
1 - For a seriously long period of time, he couldn't even get in the starting line-up of one one of the worst Rangers sides I can care to remember.
2 - He makes Morientes look like Usain Bolt.

He couldn't get near the Rangers line up because he doesn't train well, by his own admission.
But 343 games 188 goals, put him in the box and he will score.
Rangers fans don't like him, because he doesn't track back, but i'll tell you this, he'll score more than Kenwyne "I'm just a poor man's Heskey" Jones next season.

50% right. He'll score more than Jones, no fucking doubt. He has started tracking back and has added a lot to his game this season, and the Rangers fans have responded by making him a favourite. However, everyone knows he is completely incapable of playing as a lone striker. Even in shit hot form, he has rarely started at Celtic park, because Smith prefers a 4-5-1 and Boyd cannot be that 1. He needs a workhorse beside him, so in theory would work well with Dirk. However he could never be asked to deputise for Torres, he would need a system that plays to his strengths.
