Ibrox outfit Glasgow Rangers should hand new contracts to Kenny Miller and Clint Hill, suggests Derek Johnstone.

Derek Johnstone has suggested in The Glasgow Evening Times that Rangers duo Kenny Miller and Clint Hill deserve new contracts.

Miller, a former Celtic striker, is in his third spell at Rangers at the moment, but he is out of contract at Ibrox in the summer of 2017.

Former Queens Park Rangers defender Hill joined the Gers on a one-year contract in the summer of 2016.

Rangers legend Johnstone has suggested that new manager Pedro Caixinha should keep hold of 37-year-old striker Miller and defender Hill for the 2017-18 season.

“Pedro Caixinha will want to bring his own players in but Kenny and Clint have been mainstays this season and I think he should try and keep them,” Johnstone wrote in The Glasgow Evening Times.

“Both have performed consistently this season and they will both have a big part to play as we look to finish second in the Premiership and win the Scottish Cup in the next few weeks.

“Come the summer, hopefully they are rewarded with new deals. And Kenny should also pick up the Player of the Year prize as well.

“I think Kenny should get it and he is my choice, but Clint deserves to be recognised for his efforts this season.”

Miller and Hill have been the two best players for Rangers so far this season. The duo may be in his their late 30s, but their performances this campaign suggest that they can be useful for the team for one more season at least.

Moreover, Miller and Hill have a lot of experience, which would come in handy for Rangers next season.

Rangers are third in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 50 points from 29 matches.
