Rangers transfer news as Motherwell ace Lennon Miller deal mooted
Barry Ferguson has urged Rangers to secure a transfer for Motherwell central midfielder Lennon Miller this summer.
The former Gers player was blown away by seeing the teenager in action at Ibrox, back when he was a 16-year-old.
Now 17, Miller is off the back of a season that saw him nominated for the SFWA Young Player of the Year and the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year.
Ferguson told the Daily Record on 31 May: “Rangers need to spend the pennies wisely this summer and can’t afford to disregard talent on our own doorstep. Philippe Clement faces a busy summer recruitment wise.
“Lennon Miller is the young man who has jumped out at me every time I have seen him play. The Motherwell kid has unbelievable talent. I was at the game where he came off the bench at Ibrox for his league debut.
“He was 16-years-old, Motherwell were losing and it was a massive moment for such a young player. But he was demanding the ball from his team mates, some double his age. It was brilliant to watch. From that moment I knew there was a player there.”
Rangers must consider Liam Miller transfer
At just 17, Miller has already showcased his talent and composure in high-pressure situations, making him a promising prospect for the future.
His nomination for both the SFWA Young Player of the Year and the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year awards is a testament to his abilities and potential impact.
Miller’s performance against Gers at Ibrox, when he made his league debut at 16, demonstrated his confidence and skill on the ball, despite the challenging circumstances.
This experience, coupled with his development at Motherwell, suggests that he could adapt quickly to the demands of playing for a club like Gers.
His age and potential for growth also make him a long-term investment, capable of contributing to the team’s success for years to come.
Given Gers’ need to spend wisely and strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, Miller’s acquisition could be a strategic move.
His talent, coupled with the endorsement from an Ibrox fabourite like Ferguson, suggests that he could be a valuable addition to the team, providing both immediate and long-term benefits.
