Miller Not Convinced Rangers Really Wanted Him To Stay
Kenny Miller felt that Rangers were not really commited to keep him at the club Now paraded by his new club in the green and white top of Bursaspor, Kenny Miller explained why he made the move from Rangers. He said the new contract on offer from Martin Bain was one the Rangers chief executive did not expect him to sign. After failing to agree terms with the club, Millercompleted his move to the Turkish title winners on Friday by signing a two-and-a-half year deal worth a reported £50,000-a-week. The Scotland international, whose contract at Rangers was due to run out in the summer, believes Bain was simply "going through the motions" when trying to persuade him to stay in Govan. Miller said: "It's not all about money, I loved my time at Rangers and it was great working for Walter Smith. But I just couldn't have afforded to take the deal they offered me. I didn't think I should be taking a pay cut anyway, but it was always going to be tough to sign on the terms offered. As time went on I realised there was no way it was going to happen. The club knew that but I think they felt they had to go through the motions of making an offer. At one stage in the talks I had with Martin Bain I actually said to him: 'You can't expect me to sign that, can you?' and his reply was 'probably not'. The economics just weren't there, there was no way. I've moved about in my career and like a challenge, but when you're settled somewhere there's a lot to be said about making that last as long as possible. But it wasn't to be with Rangers."
