Kenny Miller

Kenny Miller started his career with Hibernian in 1996 and was soon hitting the headlines in the SPL as one of the most talented youngsters in the league, helped by an impressive loan spell at Stenhousemuir during his formative years, and in 1998 it looked like he had hit the big time with a move to Rangers.

However, he found it hard to break into the team amidst plenty of competition and after a year of stagnation he left his boyhood club and signed for English club Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he rebuilt his career over five good years at Molineux.

When his contract there expired in 2006 he left the club and returned to Glasgow, this time for Celtic, making him one of only three post-war players to have turned out for both Old Firm clubs. However, his first season with the Bhoys was a disappointment and it turned out to be his last as he moved back to England to join Derby County in August 2007.

Miller's stay with newly promoted Derby County in the top flight was to be short lived though as the Rams were relegated with the lowest amount of points in Premier League history with 10. The Scottish talisman could only muster a measily 4 goals in 30 appearances and the arrival of new boss Paul Jewell signalled the end of Miller's Derby career with a fee of £2m agreed with Rangers allowing Miller to enter into discussions about a transfer back to Ibrox.

On June 13 the deal was completed with Miller's return to Ibrox making him only the second player to cross the Old Firm divide twice. The first being Willie Kivlichan in the early 1900s.
