Henderson rues lack of wingers

Rangers legend Willie Henderson claimed Kris Boyd would be even more prolific if wingers were still part of the game.

Henderson played at Ibrox in the 1960s and 70s under Scott Symon and then Willie Waddell when Scottish football was reknowned for wide men. But when Walter Smith`s side run out at Hampden on Sunday for the Co-operative Insurance Cup final against St Mirren, Ibrox striker Boyd will look to add to his 24 goals without the aid of wingers.

"The game has changed but I think wingers are missed," the former Scotland player said. "Wingers used to provide a lot of entertainment."

He added: "Kris Boyd has scored something like 24 goals this season and you know what his record is like over the past seasons.

"Can you imagine how many goals Kris Boyd would have scored playing with two wingers?"
