Miller must stay - Davis

29 December 2010 14:30

Steven Davis has urged Kenny Miller to wait until the end of the season if he is determined to quit Rangers.

Miller is out of contract in the summer and has so far failed to agree a new deal with the Scottish champions. He has already been linked with a move to Turkey with Champions League opponents Bursaspor, as well as a return south of the border.

The 31-year-old has netted an impressive 22 goals so far this term and Davis said: "Worst-case scenario, he has to stay until the end of the season for us. If he decides it's right for him to move on after that, then that's his choice."

He added: "For us, as a team, with the amount of goals he has scored and the form he has been in, it's imperative that we keep him at the club until the end of the season at least."

Davis believes Miller would ideally like to remain in Glasgow but, having witnessed the departures of Kris Boyd and Nacho Novo last summer, is unsure what decision the forward will make.

He said: "I hope he stays. We've seen it with a couple of players over the last couple of seasons, like Boydy and Nacho.

"Unfortunately, the club hasn't been able to offer them deals that they maybe would have liked.

"That's down to each player personally but I think ultimately Kenny would like to stay and he has enjoyed his time here."
