Rangers hero Kenny Miller is expected to be named as Ronny Deila's assistant at Abu-Dhabi based side Al Wahda.
The United Arab of Emirates outfit confirmed the appointment of the former Celtic manager on Friday afternoon and it is being reported that he has selected Miller to be his No.2 at the Al Nahyan Stadium next season.
Since leaving Celtic in 2016, the 48-year-old has had quite a nomadic career with stints at Vålerenga, New York City, Standard Liège and most recently, Club Brugge.
