Lafferty is set to strike

Rangers manager Walter Smith has promised Kyle Lafferty more opportunities in his preferred striking role following the departure of Kris Boyd.

Lafferty has mostly been deployed in a wide position since his 3? million-plus move from Burnley but, after Boyd's move to Middlesbrough, Smith said: "It's an opportunity for him to get more games at centre-forward, which is his position. He has played mainly on the left-hand side for ourselves and Burnley so it will give him an opportunity to get games in his proper position, and I hope he can benefit from that."
