Rangers have banished Miller, along with Ibrox teammate Lee Wallace, following an alleged argument.

One of Kenny Miller’s former clubs tried to sign the Rangers striker last summer, 17 years after he left them for Ibrox.

Hibernian manager Neil Lennon confirmed his attempt at a press conference on Thursday, in quotes published by the Scottish Sun.

According to the same publication, Miller is again attracting interest from the Edinburgh side – along with Motherwell – after he and teammate Lee Wallace were suspended by Rangers this week.

Hibernian manager Neil Lennon looks on during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and Hibernian at Ibrox Stadium on August 12, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

However, when asked about those reports, Lennon brushed them off as speculation.

“Kenny is a winner. He’s 38 and still very fit,” said the Ulsterman. “That’s testament to being a very good professional – not someone who just chucks in the towel.

“We tried to get him at the start of the season as I like him a lot. But at the minute he’s a Rangers player and the reports are just speculation.”

Earlier this week, several Hibs fans predicted a summer move for Miller on Twitter.

The 38-year-old’s contract runs out at the end of next month, and it is being claimed in some places that he has already played his last game for Rangers.

Miller, who hit double figures for the Ibrox side last season, is still a competent performer at Premiership level – despite his advancing years.

Is that it for Miller at Rangers?
