Kris Boyd was the Rangers hero as the Ibrox side twice came from behind before winning the CIS Insurance Cup final on penalties against Dundee United.

The Scotland striker, who replaced Sasa Papac just after the hour mark, equalised Noel Hunt's opener five minutes from the end of normal time and again levelled after Mark De Vries had restored United's lead in extra-time.

When the dramatic penalty shoot-out came, it was Boyd who hammered home the last penalty to give the Govan club a dramatic victory

When the dramatic penalty shoot-out came, it was Boyd who hammered home the last penalty to give the Govan club a dramatic victory.

Willo Flood and De Vries scored their spot-kicks but Craig Conway hit the post and David Robertson and Lee Wilkie had their penalties saved by Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor.

Jean-Claude Darcheville struck the bar and Lee McCulloch had his penalty saved by Lukasz Zaluska but Steven Whittaker and Steven Davis scored, leaving Boyd to take the glory, along with McGregor.
