Well done Portland! Well done!

Kris Boyd, the all-time leading scorer in Scottish Premier League, will fill the hole left by the Kenny Cooper trade no doubt.

Signing Boyd as a designated player means some of his salary will not count against the MLS salary cap. EVEN BETTER!

Kris Boyd scored 164 goals in the Scottish Premier League.

"He was born to score," Portland coach John Spencer said. "If we create chances, he's going to be the guy that's going to get on the end of them. He's just a natural born finisher."
The Timbers gave the lower of their two first-round picks in 2013 to Houston for the Dynamo's rights to Boyd.
