Bursaspor delay their bid for Rangers striker Kenny Miller
Waving goodbye? Miller is set to leave Rangers [LNB]Rangers are still waiting on an offer from Bursaspor for Kenny Miller - despite the striker's agent opening talks over a possible £50,000-per-week move. [LNB]Miller's representative, David Baldwin, flew to Turkey on Sunday for discussions about a lucrative deal with the club who were group rivals to Rangers in this season's Champions League.[LNB] The Ibrox outfit have already accepted a £600,000 offer from Birmingham City for the player - plus another £500,000 if Alex McLeish's side beat the Premier League drop - but are yet to receive any contact from Bursaspor.[LNB] It means there would have to be rapid developments for Miller to have departed the SPL champions before they host Inverness Caledonian Thistle tomorrow night. [LNB]Sections of the Ibrox support were unhappy when the Scotland striker appeared to pull out of a lunge with Hamilton defender David Elebert during Saturday's 4-0 win over Accies. [LNB]Team-mate Steven Whittaker insisted, however, that Miller will give his all for the team if that weekend outing does not prove his last for Rangers.[LNB] 'He's got a great attitude and has proven that over the years he has played,' said Whittaker.[LNB] Persistent: McLeish said after Sunday's derby that he still wants to sign Miller[LNB] 'He closes down defenders and works hard for the team. I'm sure he would continue to do that no matter what.[LNB] 'I don't think it's a big thing for the boys, whether there is a quick decision or not. 'If Kenny is here, then he is a quality player to be part of the team. We would like him to play if he is here.' [LNB]McLeish has made several improved offers to Miller since Rangers accepted his bid 10 days ago, but the player has continued to show a reluctance to move to the Midlands. [LNB]After yesterday's 1-1 derby draw with Aston Villa, however, McLeish insisted he had not yet drawn a line under his pursuit of the 22-goal striker.[LNB] Fiorentina's interest has cooled after they failed to agree to Rangers' asking price, while fellow Serie A side Brescia have also been linked.[LNB] Bursaspor, though, can offer a salary to dwarf rivals for Miller's signature, with Rangers hoping the Turks will now submit a suitable offer and bring a conclusion to the saga.
