Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers forward Kenny Miller has played 27 times this season.

Barry Ferguson has told BBC Sport that he cannot understand why Glasgow Rangers boss Mark Warburton opts to play Kenny Miller out wide.

Miller has regularly played as a winger this season, with Warburton favouring other options up-front.

The likes of Joe Garner, Joe Dodoo and Martyn Waghorn have all started up-front for Rangers this season.

And Miller has often had to settle for a place on the wing, rather than in his favoured position of leading the line.

Although Miller has never complained about starting in the unfamiliar role, Ferguson cannot understand why Warburton doesn’t start the Scottish international centrally.

“I don’t understand why he plays out on the left or out on the right at times,” Ferguson said.

“He’s got to play through the middle because most times Kenny’s going to score you a goal.

“At this moment, he’s looking as fit as I’ve ever seen him.”

Miller’s future at Ibrox is actually uncertain at the moment, as the veteran forward’s contract expires at the end of the season.

Miller has suggested that he wants to carry on playing, and he wants to stay at Rangers, but whether Warburton will offer the 37-year-old a new deal remains to be seen.

Miller has played 27 times this season, scoring on seven occasions.
