Rangers hero pitches Philippe Clement for coaching role and tells him exactly what to do with Fabio Silva

Kenny Miller has made his pitch to Philippe Clement for a role on his Rangers coaching team – and his first bit of advice is what to do with Fabio Silva.

The former Ibrox striker has been out of coaching since leaving Falkirk in 2022 and has largely focused on media work since, including punditry and his column for Record Sport. But his ultimate goal is to get back into the game, and his dream gig would be on the Rangers coaching staff.

He told BoyleSports, who offer the latest Old Firm odds, that it would be a 'no-brainer' to link up with Clement and Alex Rae in the dugout. “Absolutely yes, that has never changed," he said. "I was fortunate to have a long career and played until the age of 40. Others are not that fortunate, but I was still thinking about coaching and management from the age of 30! It’s not changed, I want to now get back into the coaching game, whatever level that may be. I miss being on the grass, I miss being on the grass around the group.

"Being a pundit, you’re always around football watching loads of games on TV, but it doesn’t match being on the grass Monday-Friday, getting a team prepped for a Saturday. I'm as hungry as ever to get back into it, I went from playing in January 2020 to coaching a month later - there was no time off. This has been the first season since I was 16, the first time in 29 years that I’ve not been involved in a group as a player or coach. There’s a massive hunger and desire to get in and climb that ladder again.

“It would be a no-brainer to go back to Rangers, going in to try and help add value to the project. You’ve got an existing coaching and playing staff there, and you might come across somebody who you click with, then they think ‘he could be of real value to me
