Glasgow Rangers face Dundee this weekend and will come up against former player Kenny Miller.

Miller played for Rangers during three separate spells and left the club this summer on a sour note.

Now after a brief stint as player-manager at Livingston, he signed for Dundee and could line up against his former club this weekend.

Miller’s gripes with Rangers are nothing to do with current boss Steven Gerrard, but he will be highly motivated to prove a point.

The 38-year-old’s contract expired while he was under suspension from the club, following an unspecified incident following Rangers’ Scottish Cup semi-final defeat.

Speaking to SkySports in June, Miller said the circumstances of his exit hit him hard.

He said: “I was devastated to be honest. I was really hurt and upset with the way it had to end.

“Obviously it was taken out of my hands but when you’ve played for a club that length of time, over three spells, and you don’t get the chance to pull on the jersey for the last time and play in front of your home crowd.”

This will be Miller’s chance to return to Ibrox, perhaps for the last time, and he will hope for a positive reception from a club where he played more than 200 games.

It will be respectful, but when the whistle blows for the game to kick off, Miller will be looking to prove a point, and try to exact revenge on those at Rangers who he felt wronged him.
