The secret Lennon Miller transfer bid by Rangers and inexplicable act of folly since they might live to regret

It probably wasn’t common knowledge at the time.

But almost 15 months ago, Rangers tentatively contacted Motherwell over the availability of Lennon Miller.

The Ibrox hierarchy intimated that they were admirers of the teenage midfielder. They even got as far as verbally offering £1 million for Miller’s services, which understandably was immediately thrown out of Fir Park.

Since then? Silence. Rangers haven’t been in touch again.

They haven’t made a single inquiry about Scotland’s most talented youngster in over a year - despite a continued, meteoric rise which has elevated him into Steve Clarke’s national team.

And right now, while Rangers and Russell Martin are on a summer signings spree, the question fans might ask is, why?

Let’s be clear. Miller is the most exciting prospect in the country right now.

At 18, he won every Scottish Premiership Young Player of the Year award last season. In a struggling Well side, he stuck out like a sore thumb.

And ask any experienced player in that dressing-room about Miller and they’ll tell you he’s a generational talent.

Anyone who doesn’t acknowledge that - or can’t see it in front of their eyes - probably shouldn’t be watching football.

On top of all that, Miller has a maturity beyond his years.

His humility is one of the many attributes which separates him from the rest. Motherwell have now accepted the fact, they have to cash in this summer.

While Rangers might have valued him at £1 million back then, you’ll have to quadruple that figure now just to get a seat at the bidders table.

Clubs in England and in Europe are already circling. The boy himself has indicated that he’d quite like to ply his trade abroad. And of course, Celtic have constantly been linked with a move for him.
