'Outstanding': Midfield 'diamond' urged not to sign for Rangers

‘Outstanding’: Midfield ‘diamond’ urged not to sign for Rangers this summer

Rangers ought to seize the opportunity to acquire Motherwell’s sensational young player Lennon Miller, after the Scottish Premiership

star deceived Callum McGregor in Sunday’s match against Celtic.

Charlie Mulgrew, a former Scotland international, believes that the 17-year-old can succeed at Rangers and has no doubts about it. Or

Celtic, the defender’s previous employers, for that matter.

Brendan Rodgers witnessed Lennon Miller’s talents at first-hand on Sunday. The Under-19 international left McGregor dazed and

confused as he swivelled and danced his way through a challenge on the edge of the box before setting up

Blair Spittal’s opener at Firhill.

A piece of balletic, almost Zidane-like brilliance Miller himself rather humbly describes as a ‘wee bit of trickery’.

Mulgrew says Sky Sports, “You see the effect he had on the game,” as his former team recovers with a pair of late goals after Miller’s

magnificent assist. “The way he plays, he plays like a man. He is really intelligent.

“He is requesting that the goalie take the kickoff and flick it on, just like his father, former Aberdeen,

Kilmarnock, and Dundee United star Lee Miller, used to do.”

What a talented individual. He hails from a nice home and is a sensible boy. He is someone I would

sign right away and add to the roster if I were the Rangers or Celtics.

“What an athlete he is.”

Some have compared Lennon to Scotland’s version of Steven Gerrard. Though Billy Gilmour, a 2006-born player who shares

Brighton’s exceptional elegance and control against many more experienced players, may be a more appropriate parallel.

Although Mulgrew is certain that Miller can adjust to life at the Old Firm before he turns 18,

former Celtic manager Neil Lennon believes that patience is a virtue.

Miller is still relatively new to senior football, so Lennon maintains that he would gain more from a career path along the lines of

Lewis Ferguson, who left Aberdeen after several years in the first team and went on to become one of Serie A’s best midfielders. “I

think it will be good for him to get that development there (at Motherwell),” Lennon says.

“He’s in a good place, an excellent environment.”
