Rangers boosted as Miller confirms Ibrox stay

Rangers striker Kenny Miller insists he wants to stay at the club even as new contract discussions continue. The 30-year-old Scotland international has been in fine form for the Gers so far this season and has netted 18 goals in 14 SPL appearances.

But Miller's contract is set to expire next summer but he is keen to stay beyond the winter, although he admits there is some uncertainty.

He told the Daily Record: "I've always said I want to stay. There's no doubt it's been the best two-and-a-half years of my career. Working with the manager and the staff has been great. We've been really successful in hard times.

"It's been the most turbulent time the club has seen with the debt, but I've loved it.

"When I came back Celtic had won three-in-a-row and playing a part in winning the title back was top of the agenda. There was probably no better way to do that than winning it on the last day of the season - much as we enjoyed winning it with games to spare last time - but it was a fantastic way to win the league.

"Had things not gone to plan on the field it might have gone against me because of the opposition to me coming back. But the team has been successful and that's gone a long way to the fans accepting me back again.

"If a new owner comes in it could change my situation but the days of Rangers throwing money around are gone.

"If a takeover happens it'll be to stabilise the club rather than coming in to start throwing cash about like we did before.

"That might give us an opportunity to go out and strengthen, which we probably need. Looking at it we could be doing with a couple in so in that sense it would be good if something happened to give the manager funds.

"You just need to look at us now - three or four injuries and we're down to the bare bones. It will be tough to go through the season continuing to grind out results like we're doing at the moment - and win the league."
