KENNY Miller has urged the Rangers board not to rush in to appointing their next permanent manager and cautioned against a summer clear-out at the Ibrox club.

The 37-year-old, whose talks over a new contract have been put on hold while the club consider their options for the front office, has been encouraged by the suggestion the club are to recruit a director of football as well as a head coach, but feels that wholesale changes to the playing staff assembled by Mark Warburton could be counter-productive.

"Listen, of course we want to see some fantastic manager come in, whether he be Scottish, British or foreign, but for me it’s just important we get the right man, whoever it is," he added.

"The noises I’m hearing about the structure they’re trying to put in place are positive. If a new manager comes in on a permanent basis then he can assess the squad and see where he is at, build his own opinions on where he needs to improve and then that can be done in the summer.

"But a major overhaul of a squad is never a recipe for success. There is no way you can keep turning over eight, nine, ten players every summer and expecting to be successful."
