Bursaspor not ruling out a move to Rangers for Miller

Kenny MILLER will discover today if Bursaspor will open the door to a possible return to Rangers.

The Turkish club's director of transfers, Erkan Kamat, plans to speak to the Scotland internationalist, pictured below, who is attracting the attention of Light Blues' boss Ally McCoist, who is considering a move to re-sign the former Celtic player for what would be his third spell in Govan.

Miller was the top goalscorer in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League last season despite leaving Rangers in January having struck 21 goals and Kamat accepts the player has had a problem settling in Turkey.

"There is something on Miller's mind regarding his family," Kamat was quoted as telling STV.

"It is difficult for him because his family is in Scotland. He is in Turkey.

"In a few days' time we will see what happens.

"I am meeting Kenny today but, for the time being, Kenny Miller is a player of Bursaspor and will continue to be a player for Bursaspor. I can't say any more just now."

Kamat insists that Bursaspor will not let Miller return to Scotland for anything less than what they regard as his true valuation

He said: "If the circumstances are right, if things are good, and the conditions are correct, then why not?

"But Rangers have to pay serious money, a good transfer fee. If Rangers are opening the door, we can maybe settle something. We will see what Rangers want to do."

Meanwhile, Steven Naismith is expecting a tough challenge when they take on Bayer Leverkusen in Germany tonight.

German minnows Sportfreunde Lotte and Bochum have both proved too strong for McCoist's men in their first two pre-season games but Naismith is confident the Light Blues will raise their game for the third match against the Bundesliga side.

"The Leverkusen game is definitely one that excites you," the Scotland striker said.

"We'll have to tighten up at the back and hopefully we can get off the mark ourselves by scoring goals as well.

"Lotte and Bochum were a few games ahead of us in terms of their preparation and maybe that showed.

"The results have been disappointing and the goals we have lost have been slack."
