Rangers have announced that striker Kenny Miller is returning for a third spell at Ibrox.

The 34-year-old initially signed for Rangers back in 2000-01 from Hibernian and then returned seven years later, winning three top-flight league titles, the Scottish Cup and the League Cup before moving to Bursaspor in January 2011.

After subsequent spells with Cardiff and the Vancouver Whitecaps, Miller will now return to Rangers on a one-year deal with the option for a further year.

"I am thrilled to return to Rangers for a third time," Miller told the club's official website.

"I have enjoyed so much success at this great football club and I am determined to repeat it again next season and beyond.

"Rangers is a special football club and we are on the rise again and I want to play my part as we look to get back to the top of Scottish football.

"I had a number of offers once I left Vancouver but I had my heart set on returning to Ibrox and I can't wait to get started again."

Rangers boss Ally McCoist added: "We are delighted to welcome Kenny back to Ibrox.

"He was a terrific player for us in the past, especially his second spell at Rangers, and we have won many trophies together.

"Kenny brings experience and pace to our forward line and will be a great influence on our younger players at Murray Park.

"He is a top class footballer and we look forward to seeing him in a Rangers jersey once again as we look to secure promotion to the top flight next season."
