Former Rangers striker Kenny Miller has tipped Hibs attacker Martin Boyle to be the man who can replace the outgoing Ryan Kent at Ibrox.
Speaking ahead of the 4-0 victory over Livingston at Ibrox, Rangers boss Michael Beale claimed that the club are yet to replace the influence of Ryan Kent in this window.
A key player for Rangers over the last five seasons, the £7m ex-Liverpool winger moved to Fenerbahce and has already begun to catch the eye in Turkey.
Martin Boyle tipped for Rangers move
Speaking following Michael Beale’s comments on the situation, ex-Rangers star Kenny Miller pointed towards Hibs attacker Martin Boyle as a suitable replacement.
The 19-cap Australia forward is a very familiar thorn in the side of Rangers and is back at Easter Road after a failed six-month stint at Saudi club Al-Faisaly following a £3m move.
“For me, Rangers should be looking at Martin Boyle from Hibs,” Kenny Miller told the Daily Record. “He would give Beale something he doesn’t have.
“Boyle can play in-field if necessary – he’s done that at Easter Road often enough playing off a striker. But crucially, he’s a danger out wide and commits defenders. He can beat players and puts opposition teams on the back foot.
“To do that, you need someone with pace, clever movement and good dribbling ability. And the player with those abilities in our league is Boyle. For the last few years, Rangers obviously had Ryan Kent.
“He’s a gifted, technical player but we all know his numbers weren’t good enough. Boyle might not be as technical as Kent. But one thing’s for sure – in the Premiership, he’s effective.
“So it’s an obvious option for Beale. Maybe his name has been mentioned already inside Ibrox. Because Boyle would add something new to his armoury.”
Rangers fans are obviously well familiar with Martin Boyle given the player’s previous performances against the Ibrox side with Hibs.
In 20 games against Rangers, the winger has netted four times, with three of those coming in one match as he banged in a hat-trick in a devastating 3-1 League Cup semi defeat at Hampden in 2021.
