Kenny Miller has opened up on his third stint at Rangers and his spat with Pedro Caixinha, that ultimately got him banished from the first-team.

The former Scotland international was sent to play with the youths after the flop Portuguese boss accused him of leading a dressing room revolt.

After Caixinha was sacked, Graeme Murty was put in charge and Miller subsequently returned to the first-team squad, but things would quickly change.

He told the Daily Record: “It was hard at that time to see certain things go on at the club. You talk about the traditions and the standards but I’m talking about things off the field at Ibrox when you’re like, ‘Wow! These kind of things shouldn’t be happening,’.

“How you actually treat people round about Murray Park. There were certain things when you were like, ‘F****** hell! It’s not right!’.

“What happened during that time is hard to explain.

"Everyone has intuitions, feelings and gut instincts but I felt when I got injured that something had changed in the building. I could just feel it. The team was going to Florida that January and Murts pulled me - and I knew what was coming.

“He said, ‘Look, you are not going to go to Florida,’. I went, ‘Why not?’ He said it was to do with me being injured but I went, ‘But there are other injured players going!’.

“I went, ‘Seriously Murts, there’s got to be a reason. Just give me it straight’. ‘No, no it’s not like that. Big Waldo is not going either’. I went, ‘Right, OK. No problem’.

“But there were other injured players that had gone over and at that moment I thought, ‘This is not right!’. I got myself ready for after the break and I was back for every game effectively. I started one of them.

“And I’m saying this with the greatest of respect, but you only needed to look at the guys that were playing ahead of me to think, ‘Oh wait a minute, there’s something maybe not right here,’ I started one game - it was the Dundee game - we won 4-0, I scored the first goal and that was the week before that Celtic game.”

Miller and Wallace were subsequently frozen out of the club after a dressing room spat with Murty, which resulted in the end of their Ibrox careers.

Miller continued: “Forget getting beat, I’ve been in dressing rooms where teams have won and you’ve had players not happy about a situation or a performance or maybe even just an incident within the game where maybe standards weren’t met.

“I’ve seen 10 times worse. I have. I’ve heard of other examples.

“When you play until you’re 40 and for the amount of teams I’ve played over the years and the amount of players I’ve played with over my career, you speak to people. ‘What happened there?’. ‘Oh you should have seen it after the game! He was doing this and he was doing this, they were at it and he had him nailed against the wall!’. But there was none of that. None of that.

“And there were other people in the dressing room saying things as well. It was not as if it was just me out there saying this and Lee Wallace out there saying that. That’s just not how it was.

“I don’t know. You can only say that it felt like, ‘We can blame that or make a bit of a smokescreen to cover the fact that we’ve just been scudded again by Celtic!’. It fitted what they wanted to happen at that time.

“It ended me. I felt for big Waldo as he still had a year left and he had to go and endure that. I know it hurt him bad as well. But listen, it happened. It’s part of everything that goes into a career. Did it hurt? Of course it did. Was I absolutely devastated? Of course I was.

“Because it was over absolutely nothing in my eyes and I think in a lot of people’s eyes. There are always two sides, sometimes three or four sides, but after a result like that - in that game - would it have been different had it been a Super Ally or a Richard Gough era? If they had just lost 4-0 to Celtic in a semi final. I would imagine it would have been a bit worse!”
