Kris Boyd put his family first to join Middlesbrough.
Boyd quit Rangers to sign a two-year, £25,000-a-week deal.
But SPL all-time leading scorer Boyd snubbed a £50,000-a-week offer from Turkish side Kayserispor.
He said: “It was a get-rich-quick thing, but didn’t interest me. I have two young kids and the missus to think about.
“It’s more important that you’re a father to them. Coming here, we’ll still be together.”
Boro will complete the £1.4m signing of Charlton skipper Nicky Bailey today.
