I'm asking same Rangers questions fans are about Lammers but last Dutch striker was so good I copied him – Kenny Miller

Rangers were competing with top English clubs financially and the Premier League wasn’t as rich as it is now. But going down south would still have been a big move. And Michael would have gone to
