KENNY MILLER fears he is entering the final weeks of his Rangers career after talks over a new Ibrox deal stalled. The 37-year-old is out of contract at the end of the campaign but has yet to hold discussions over an extension to his terms with boss Pedro Caixinha.

Former Ibrox manager Mark Warburton was keen to tie down Miller and Clint Hill beyond the summer but his departure from the club saw the process put on the back burner. Miller is determined to continue pulling on his boots next season but only time will tell if he is wearing a Light Blue jersey in the Premiership.

“Nothing has moved on at all,” he said. “There has not been any chat. With a new manager coming in it’s kind of put that on hold a little bit. For me, you don’t really get to this stage and things are not sorted.

“So it could be that I have only got six weeks left at Rangers. So I want to enjoy as much as I can by hopefully winning the Scottish Cup and finishing the league strongly.

“I’m still hopeful and everybody knows my feelings for the club and where I want to be but at the moment it has not moved forward.

“It would hurt me if I was to leave – of course it would. I want to be here and I still feel I have a lot to offer as a player. But that’s up to the manager. He is a man who seems to have strong opinions and views so he will make his own mind up on who he wants here and who he doesn’t.

“I have not had a private conversation with him about it.

“I definitely see myself playing next season, wherever that may be.”

Miller has started against Hamilton and Motherwell since Caixinha took charge at Ibrox and has been an integral part of the Gers squad once again this term as he has netted nine goals in 38 appearances.

The striker had to adopt a midfield berth on Saturday after Lee Wallace, Lee Hodson and Clint Hill were forced off at the break and Caixinha had to shuffle his pack. Andy Halliday and Jon Toral assumed defensive roles before Joe Garner converted Miller’s cross on the hour mark to earn Rangers a share of the spoils.

“At half-time changes were made,” Miller said. “I went to the toilet and when I came back big Clint was toiling so changes were made again. It was a wee bit chaotic but I think the principles of what we are trying to be came out in the second half.

“The manager is wanting us to offer a mixed threat – not just intricate play and getting to the byline for the perfect goal. He wants us to capitalise on mistakes and press high up the field so it can maybe be one pass through rather than a lot of build-up.

“The manager had no choice with the changes because players were injured or unwell. He could have made different changes that were a little bit safer but he had made his mind up that he wanted us to be attacking. It worked because we won the second half and got back into the game and could have won it.”

Rangers return to action against Kilmarnock tomorrow night before they face Aberdeen on Sunday in what is surely a must-win match if they are to keep alive their ambitions of finishing second this term.

The Light Blues then face Partick Thistle ahead of the Old Firm double header and Miller is determined to head into derby action with some top flight momentum.

“It’s been good,” he said. “We knew from the first few meetings with the manager that there were going to be different demands put on us and there would be different things he would want to work on. So it’s been a busy three weeks but very beneficial.

“We’ve got a semi-final to look forward to and another Old Firm game straight after that. But we’ve got three games to take care before that and if we can go on into these games with three wins under our belts it would be a big boost and there is no reason why we can’t do that.”
