McLeish brought the striker to Ibrox from Kilmarnock in 2006 and Boyd helped lift six domestic trophies before leaving for Middlesbrough in 2010. Boyd is also likely to go head-to-head with former Rangers team-mates Alan Hutton and Carlos Cuellar.

Villa are heading to the US for pre-season and will take on John Spencer’s team on 24 July.
