THE quality of the seven signings made by Rangers so far this summer shows their intent ahead of the new season, says Kenny Miller.

The Gers striker, who yesterday underlined that the league title is demanded at Ibrox, has been encouraged by the business done in the market so far.

Mark Warburton has strengthened his squad by bringing in the experienced quartet of Matt Gilks, Joey Barton, Clint Hill and Niko Kranjcar along with youthful trio Josh Windass, Matt Crooks and Jordan Rossiter.

The Light Blues left for their pre-season training camp in the USA yesterday and Miller told the club's official website that the new faces have provided a boost for the rest of the squad.

Rangers face Charleston Battery in a friendly on July 6 before returning to kick off the competitive season away to Motherwell in the Betfred Cup on July 16.

“It is very exciting with the level of quality and experience that we have been bringing in," Miller said.

"We’ve only seen a few of the new lads involved in training so far, but it has everyone looking forward to the new season.

“The manager spoke towards the end of last season what the intent would be for this season, and he has backed that up with the level and standard of signing he has made.

“Having a bigger squad is huge too. At a football club like ours, it should be that way and there should be nobody guaranteed or taking that starting spot for granted.The Herald: 23/06/16

“We should be pushed for our jerseys at every game and will earn the right in the starting XI with our performances and consistency throughout the season.

“Last season, we toiled to fill a bench sometimes, but it won’t be like that with real strength in depth all over the field."

Former Tottenham midfielder Kranjcar signed a two-year deal at Ibrox last week, where he will join up with his former QPR teammates Barton and Hill.

Miller believes that the combination of players with top-level experience and talented youngsters can help the club achieve their ambitions in the campaign ahead. 

He said: “[Niko Kranjcar] goes along with Joey [Barton] and Clint [Hill] with the experience they have and the level they have played at for all of their careers speaks for itself.

“It’s only going to be a positive thing for us as players that level of player is coming to the club. It can only help us and make us better and stronger, likewise the younger lads who are coming in who are hungry and want to improve.The Herald: Joey Barton

“There is a great blend, and the manager has done a fantastic job in getting that. We have lads who have been over the course and distance – winners and leaders – and the more guys you can get in your team like that, the better a chance you have of being successful.

“All that every player can do is go and get a good pre-season under your belt. I know that it is a cliche, but it is really important that every player gets through pre-season unscathed and gets a good level of fitness and the right amount of game time for preparation.

“Last season, I felt that I had a good season and got a good amount of goals. I feel I finished the season strongly and my mindset will never change, I want to be playing football.

“I want to be playing football every week and I want to be playing every minute of every game.  I fully appreciate that isn’t going to happen and it’s not about me or any other individual playing every week, it’s about the team and the team being successful.”
