Blues to step up Miller pursuit after backing away from Keane

Birmingham will step up their pursuit of Rangers forward Kenny Miller and other targets after last night confirming they had ended their interest in signing striker Robbie Keane from Tottenham.

Blues had agreed a £6m fee with Spurs for the Republic of Ireland international but the move collapsed yesterday, with the midlands side releasing a statement saying it “would not be in the best financial interests of the club” to press on.
