16 Years ago, we signed a PFA Player of the Year player

[RFCRobertson 11,778]

That player was none other than Kenny Miller. 

For a fee of 2 million pound, Kenny Miller joined Rangers on the 26th of June in the year 2000, he scored 8 goals for us in 30 appearances. However, this was short lived as he signed for Wolverhampton Wanderers after going on loan to them. There he had a better time, having 162 appearances with 50 goals to his name. 

After this, the unthinkable happened. A ex Rangers player signed for our rivals, Celtic on a one year deal. Having 33 appearances with them and scoring 7 goals. However after 1 season, he was off again, this time to Derby county for a season. 

Then bizarrely, Kenny Miller came back to Rangers in the year 2008, this time staying with us for 3 years. This time round, he had a better time, getting 108 appearances and 56 goals! but after 2011 he was off again, from 2011-14 he went to 3 different clubs, each time having good success. 

And then, for the third time Kenny Miller came back to Rangers FC, in the year 2014. He scored 9 goals for us in 42 appearances, but in this season is where he shined, getting 21 goals for us in 43 appearances. 

Not many Footballers can say they've got a history like Kenny Miller has. He's a professional through and through and I'm glad he's on our side. and for his service to the club, which totals up too, 231 (and counting!) with 97 goals to his name, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes down in the history books as a great footballer who signed for us 3 times. 

Here's to King kenny 

 

 

[Sonnybear1972 8,130]

I remember being very sceptical when mr advocaat signed the youngster from the spoon burners , but he's been a great servant to our club long reign King kenny ??????????????

[Marky. 6,927]

Written like a novel. Some story .

[tannerall 25,935]

In that season 16 years ago we also signed top players from Chelsea and Barcelona, spent £30,000,000 altogether on players and total sell of players was £4,000,000. 

And we ended up out of Europe before Xmas and winning nothing. 

 

 

 

[The Mailman 330]

Guys a legend in my eyes

[Briton 394]

His best season is yet to come...hopefully.   He's made me eat my words.  I didn't agree with signing after he went to Celtic but he's proved himself a great servant.

[ready1873 3,885]

Legend. Hopefully he's at the club a lot longer too.

[KeyserSoze 14,544]

To be known from this point on as 

Kenny "Fucking" Miller.

Had a fair helping of that humble pie myself.

[ready1873 3,885]

Thought we were going to end that game with about five goals.

I remember Scotland played Italy at Hampden and they had Nesta and Cannavaro at centre-half. Miller scored and afterwards one of them said he was so difficult to play against and they struggles with him. And that is one formidable defense.

[Young Bob 1,360]

Throughout his time with us his work rate has been phenomenal and, where his strike rate is actually nothing special, its been goals in vital games that have made him a fans favourite.

[Ryan_1 1,136]

A terrific servant and will be vital again next season.

[scottyscott1963 18,328]

Quite sure KM would love nothing better than to give the Rangers support the 55th title and put him on a list of Greats who have served our club. Me personally hope KM scores the goal that gives 'us' and 'him' 55.  

[WGOH 2,344]

Sure Kenny Miller has scored 100 goals for Rangers. If we are being precise. 

[CF2 WINNIE 1,006]

I know of folk that still wont celebrate a Kenny Miller goal which to me is fuckin stupid. He is a model professional probably had one of his best seasons last year, When Waghorn got injured you wondered where goals would come from but Kenny stepped up and was excellent for us.

[Ozblue 4,331]

I remember seeing Kenny score his first goal for Rangers at Rugby park in our second game of the season when we beat Killie 4-2. I was right behind the goal in the Chadwick stand when he put it in the net and I was very surprised Advocaat flogged him off the next season to Wolves.

He's more than earned his money in the service of Rangers.

The deal was agreed under Advocaat , when big eck came in he rubber stamped it . TBF it probably was the right decision at that time .

There is a possibility you could be correct about that,mate, but I seem to remember Miller going to Wolves in September and Big Eck became our manager around the time of my my mate's birthday which is in December.

[PromDeAnglais 5,470]

It's also quite well known in some footballing circles that the only reason Kenny went to Derby for one season in 2007 was because Rangers and Cellic would not negotiate with each other, despite Smith wanting a Miller-Boyd partnership.

[Vwbear 399]

When he went to wolves in September 2001 it was a 3 month loan
