The striker lashed home an unstoppable 25-yard strike from a free-kick to open the scoring before his second-half header sealed a 3-2 Scottish Cup win over Queen of the South.

Boyd secured the only other trophy Rangers have won in their incredible season when he scored twice and netted the winning penalty in their CIS Insurance Cup shoot-out triumph over Dundee United.

His second Hampden matchwinning performance took his tally for the season to 25 goals for Rangers and cemented his position as the club's top scorer.

But he has had more goals than starts and was a peripheral figure in the run to the UEFA Cup final.

And the former Kilmarnock man admits he is unsure where he goes from here after failing to nail a regular starting slot after two-and-a-half years at the club.

"It has been a frustrating season," Boyd said.

"I would liked to have played more but it's not been the case.

"But to score two goals in the Scottish Cup final is a dream come true and I'm delighted with that.

"The only thing I can do is get on the park and do my talking on there. I got another two goals but I would have liked more.

"I would have liked to have scored more, I would have liked to have played more.

"I will go and have a long hard think about it over the summer and we will see what next season brings."

Boyd's winning goal, when he headed home DaMarcus Beasley's corner, pushed Rangers over the line at the very end of a long season after Queens had threatened an amazing shock.

Boyd and DaMarcus Beasley put Rangers two ahead before half-time but the Irn-Bru First Division side quickly levelled when Steve Tosh and Jim Thomson scored within three second-half minutes.

Boyd admitted Rangers had felt the effects of their fixture pile-up.

"We made hard work of it but we got there in the end," the 24-year-old said.

"We would have liked to have played better but with the amount of games we have had in the last few weeks, it took its toll."

Tosh felt Queens had done themselves justice despite their disappointing opening half.

The 35-year-old midfielder began the comeback in the 50th minute when he forced home Sean O'Connor's cutback.

"It gave us the impetus to go and get that second goal, which we duly did," Tosh said.

"We just couldn't carry it right through but I think we have made our fans proud, our families proud and ourselves proud."

The former Gretna player refused to blame the four-week break since the end of Queens' league season for their sluggish first-half display.

He added: "That's an easy excuse, just like people if we had won would have used the excuse of Rangers tiring in the second half.

"We prepared properly for the match, we just didn't turn up in the first half.

"We were very disappointed, as was the manager, in how we played in the first half.

"I think deep down we have done something right, unfortunately it just wasn't enough on the day."
