Rangers hero Kris Boyd in 'it's not happened for him' Aaron Ramsey Ibrox loan verdict

Kris Boyd admits 'it's not happened' for Aaron Ramsey at Rangers as he offered a blunt verdict on his spell at Ibrox.

The Wales international joined on the final day of the January transfer window in a blockbuster loan deal from Italian giants Juventus.

His spell at Rangers has been plagued with numerous injuries with the midfielder struggling for fitness and match minutes.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst subbed on Ramsey for the final moments of extra-time in last night's Europa League final defeat to Frankfurt with penalties in mind.

Kevin Trapp - who made a stunning save from Ryan Kent with two minutes of the additional 30 minutes to play - denied the 31-year-old from the spot, in what turned out to be the crucial spot-kick miss.

And ex-Rangers star and pundit Boyd admits his arrival at the club has not worked out at all.

Boyd told Sky Sports: "It's disappointing for Aaron Ramsey.

"He's a talented footballer but it's just not happened for him at Rangers you have got to say.

'When you stand up there (on the penalty spot) there is a lot of pressure riding on it, and listen, he missed it but it happens in football.

"Aaron Ramsey is a fantastic footballer, but there are better footballers in the world over the years that have missed a penalty. It can happen to anybody.

"It's cruel, but if you analyse this run that Rangers have been on overall, you can look at it and say Rangers lost on penalties but they can be extremely proud of the journey they have been on."
