YOU’RE A JOKE

Agent says Gers hung Miller out to dry

- GAVIN BERRY

RANGERS have been accused of hanging Kenny Miller out to dry and branded “a joke” in a furious blast from the veteran striker’s agent.

Ibrox vice-captain Miller, left, was banished from the first-team squad for last month’s game with

Hamilton after Record Sport revealed details of a stormy squad summit after which Miller was sent to play with the Under-20s.

Boss Pedro Caixinha then said he had a mole at the club but maintains there is no issue with the striker.

He said Miller was injured for last Friday’s win over St Johnstone but the player’s agent, Dave Baldwin, appeared to suggest the striker is fit.

He launched an attack, writing on Instagram below a picture of Miller: “The ‘inferral’ that this guy is anything other than one of the best ‘profession­als’ of the last 20 years is a joke.

“If @rangersfc have a ‘leak,’ ‘rat’ or a ‘traitor’ in the ranks they should say who it is and deal with it rather than leave one man hung out to dry!!!

“To make those accusation­s then leave Kenny out of the squad and not say a word is embarrassi­ng…and then do it again! Looks pretty obvious to me where the leaks come from. #Rangers #GlasgowRan­gers #KennyMille­r #shambolic #Embarrassi­ng #hungouttod­ry.”

It remains to be seen if Miller will be involved in Sunday’s Betfred Cup semi with Motherwell.

Rangers declined to comment on Baldwin’s accusation­s, although later on the club website Caixinha said the forward has been injured.
