Ibrox legend Kenny Miller believes Rangers are firmly at the front of the queue to bring Mikey Moore back to Glasgow on loan next season.
The 18-year-old Tottenham winger impressed heavily during his time in Scotland, and Miller says a return north simply “makes sense” for everyone involved.
Reports from London suggest Spurs manager Roberto Di Zerbi has decided to send Moore out on loan for a second consecutive season after his electric displays under former Rangers boss Danny Rohl.
Rohl has since departed Ibrox and been replaced by Derek McInnes, but the new manager is expected to be equally eager to secure Moore’s services.
Tottenham have made their position clear to interested clubs, stating they will not sell the prized academy product under any circumstances this summer.
However, Spurs are keen for Moore to continue developing through regular first-team minutes, and Miller believes Glasgow remains the perfect environment for that progression.
Miller said: “I would be surprised if Rangers are not already all over Moore if there’s going to be another loan deal for him.”
He added that Moore’s own glowing reflections on his time at Ibrox make a return feel almost inevitable, saying: “I would be very surprised if Ibrox wasn’t his destination given he spoke so fondly about his time there, how much he enjoyed it and how it’s been a really good spell for his development.”
Questions had surrounded Moore’s availability while Spurs faced the threat of relegation from the Premier League, creating uncertainty over his next move.
With Di Zerbi having successfully secured top-flight survival, the club now appears comfortable confirming Moore will be farmed out again rather than kept as squad depth.
Moore himself was careful not to commit to anything publicly during the season, repeatedly insisting he needed to speak with Tottenham before making any decisions about his future.
Miller, currently serving as interim boss at Maccabi Tel Aviv, acknowledged there will be competing interest but backed Rangers to win out in the end.
He said: “As a young player, it took him a little bit of time to settle at Ibrox, but then you saw his qualities come through as the season went on.”
Miller noted that Moore’s performances grew in consistency as the campaign progressed, eventually making him one of the standout performers in the Rangers frontline.
He said: “He took that spot out wide and made it his own,” highlighting Moore’s directness and willingness to attack defenders at every opportunity.
Miller also pointed to Moore’s mentality as a key strength, saying: “You’re not thinking about contracts, you’re not thinking or hitting certain numbers, you’re just happy you’re there and you’re playing.”
The former Rangers striker, who enjoyed three separate spells as a player at Ibrox, believes Moore’s familiarity with the club gives the move added logic heading into next season.
Miller concluded: “He knows the club, he knows the fans,” adding that Rangers will be planning a significant summer of recruitment and that Moore fits naturally into those plans.
His verdict was unambiguous: “For me, it makes sense for Mikey to end up back at Ibrox.”
