Rangers are one of several clubs to have been credited with an interest in Motherwell starlet Lennon Miller.

The 18-year-old is one of the hottest commodities in Scottish football at the moment after featuring regularly for the Well for the past two seasons.

The Gers have often been criticised for deviating from the Scottish identity that brought them so much success in the past with the likes of current interim manager Barry Ferguson starring at Ibrox.

However, they could put themselves back on the road to success after a new development in Scotland.

Rangers should pursue Miller deal after Scotland news

The Light Blues should do everything they can to secure a deal for the wonderkid and swoop in before arch-rivals Celtic make their move.

The young midfielder has just been named in the senior Scotland squad for the first time at just 18 after captaining the nation at every age group through the youth ranks.

That is an indication of how talented he is and the reason why the Gers should look to sign him and go back to their roots of a successful team with a Scottish DNA.

Rangers recruitment needs a shake up

Recruitment chief Nils Koppen and Co have done a brilliant job bringing talents such as Hamza Igamane, Jefte, and Clinton Nsiala to Auchenhowie.

However, the Bears need to sign those types of players more often, hidden gems that have high potential but they should also be scouring the domestic market too.

They have wrapped up a pre-contract agreement with Dundee star Lyall Cameron for the summer but they have missed out on some the best Scottish talents in recent years.

Players that the Gers have overlooked include Lewis Ferguson, Aaron Hickey, Josh Doig and Lawrence Shankland.

All four of those would make an impact at Ibrox currently, so the Light Blues need to right the wrongs of the past and tap into the homegrown market more often rather than taking punts on players with no experience in the Scottish Premiership.

They can start with Miller and reform that identity, a core of great Scottish players with some brilliant foreign gems like Igamane, Jefte and Nsiala being the cherry on top.
