Keith Millen keeping Gillingham on track as interim manager says chairman Brad Galinson | He takes charge again this Saturday in League 2 match at Walsall

Gillingham’s no-rush approach to finding a new manager is a shot in the arm for interim boss Keith Millen.

Chairman Brad Galinson updated fans in the week about the ongoing process to replace Neil Harris and said he was “confident Keith will keep us on track”.

“Do I think I want the job? No. If we go and win the next few games things might change, you don’t know, then there might be a discussion upstairs. At the moment the discussions aren’t with
