ALEX MCLEISH insists Kenny Miller can still play a part for Rangers this term if he and Pedro Caixinha are singing from the same hymn sheet.

The striker was dropped from the Light Blues squad last month and sent to play with the Under-20s at Brentford.

Miller returned to first team training during the international break but didn’t feature on Friday night as the Gers beat St Johnstone.

McLeish said: “You don’t know what’s happened there on the inside until you get the full facts.

“But it seems like Kenny is back on board in terms of being welcome back to first team status.

“Whether he takes his place again or whether he is a super sub – and whether he wants to be a super sub or not – he is still very useful in that dressing room, especially if Pedro and him can have a good relationship.”
