Nils Koppen was spotted watching Lennon Miller for Scotland Under-19s just hours after starting his role as Rangers technical director, according to The Scottish Sun.

The newspaper reported to their online edition on 21 November that the Gers representative watched the 18-year-old during a 0-0 draw against France on Tuesday (19 November).

Celtic, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Aston Villa were also in attendance to see the midfielder, Light Blues man Liam Kelly described as "brilliant" [The National].

The Motherwell youngster was under the microscope of the new technical director at Ibrox who watched on hours after taking up his new role.

The Gers haven't made many right decisions in recent years which has caused plenty of unrest in the boardroom and among supporters.

One decision that has been seen as positive is the one to bring Connor Barron to the club after his contract expired with Aberdeen.

The 22-year-old has proved to be an excellent signing and as a Scottish national, represents the type of player that fans want to see more of.

As a result, everyone at Ibrox is behind the club in their attempts to bring Miller in from Motherwell after a stellar start to the season for the teenager.

The Light Blues have been urged by fans and former players like Barry Ferguson to sign the Scotland youth international.

This would certainly represent a coup for the Ibrox club given the level of clubs who have shown an interest in the youngster.

There is no doubt of his quality despite his age and as a result, Koppen could win a lot of people over if he can make this signing after being named as technical director.
