Kenny Miller return to Ranger moved closer

Kenny Miller, a return to Rangers moved closer with the news the Derby County striker is in talks with the Ibrox club.

Derby chairman Adam Pearson has confirmed the two clubs had initial dialogue on a possible transfer.

"We have had discussions with Rangers early and talks are underway," he told BBC Scotland. "But there was no asking price, either to impose or fulfilled."

However, PA Sport includes the transfer is farther down the road as the Midlands club admit publicly.

Derby will not stand in the way of Scotland striker, who is trying to thrash terms with the club Govan.

County expected to former Rangers striker, who also played for Celtic after moving to Ibrox wolves, to carry out a controversial return to Glasgow before the end of the week.

The prospect of Miller's possible return has split the Ibrox support.

The Scotland striker has played for Rangers under Dick Advocaat in season 2000-01.

But he failed to identify a team of first place and, after a spell at Wolves, he signed for Celtic in 2006, where he again lasted only one season before moving to Derby.

In the last week of the season, as the rumor on Miller back to Ibrox picked up pace, the Rangers fans expressed their discontent about Miller in the song, more loudly during the final of the Scottish Cup win over Queen's South at Hampden.

David Edgar, spokesman for Rangers supporters trust, told PA Sport recently Miller would be a "deeply unpopular signature but insisted on the ability of the player and not his time Celtic was the sticking point between the majority of the Ibrox supporters.

He said: "Rangers fans in general never tell any Rangers manager to sign and certainly not Walter Smith.

"But the level of discontent shown by the supporters against a player who has not yet signed for us is unprecedented.

"I have not heard anything like before.

"We were up 2-0 in a final of the Scottish Cup and Rangers supporters sang against Miller - who is an indication of how strongly fans feel about this.

"He is a player extremely unpopular and it is clear that the fans do not want him and I would say the vast majority rather than a minority who feel this way.

"It has nothing to do with him being a former Celtic player, they do not like because it is not good enough."
