Rangers still want Miller as £10m bid set to be launched for Motherwell gem
Rangers are set for a busy summer of transfer activity now that the managerial and ownership situations have been dealt with.
Supporters in Glasgow have had to be patient so far, waiting for Andrew Cavenagh and the 49ers to complete their takeover of the club.
Since the deal was completed, Russell Martin has been appointed as manager.
Now everything is in place, transfer work is set to get underway at Ibrox, with targets already on the list.
Sunderland set to bid £10m for Rangers target Lennon Miller
Rangers‘ aim is to get back towards the top of the Scottish Premiership next season, providing competition to beat Celtic to the top of the table.
With that in mind, Martin will want to be targeting the best and most promising players this summer, convincing them that a move to Ibrox is now something to be optimistic about.
One man on the radar to attract is Lennon Miller, who was a regular part of Scottish Premiership rivals Motherwell’s campaign last time out.
The 18-year-old has been incredibly impressive and, although his current side are trying to extend his deal, he could well be on the move this summer.

According to Sports Boom (11 June), Rangers and Celtic have both watched the midfielder and are keen to gain his services.
The report states that both sides have quietly explored what it would take to lure Miller away from Fir Park and cash is the most likely requirement.
This is due to the fact that the youngster is about to enter the final year of his contract with Motherwell.
The Scottish sides are set to face competition for his services, though, as the report also claims that Sunderland are preparing a £10million bid to sign Miller this summer.
The Black Cats feel fairly confident in their abilities to land a deal after achieving promotion to the Premier League this season.
Martin to excite Rangers fans
Martin has a fairly big job on his hands this summer, trying to rejuvenate a side that really struggled this term.
Having experience in the side is a benefit, as the Scottish Premiership is no easy competition and physicality is at the forefront.
However, the Gers squad is probably ageing too much now and there is a distinct lack of flair.
Therefore, this kind of transfer should reassure supporters that the new boss is really looking to change things up at Ibrox going forward.
Even if this move falls out of reach, going for young talent could leave a nice mix in the Rangers squad next term.
