Rangers closing on new Miller deal

Rangers manager Walter Smith has lauded the contribution of Kenny Miller and revealed the Clydesdale Bank Premier League champions are close to agreeing a contract extension with the striker.

Scotland forward Miller scored twice in last Saturday’s 4-0 Clydesdale Bank Premier League win over Dundee United, taking his season’s tally to eight, and was rested as Rangers claimed a 7-2 Co-operative Insurance Cup win over Dunfermline last night.
