RANGERS striker Kenny Miller’s agent has made a fresh attack on the Ibrox club, accusing them of “trashing his reputation” by their treatment of the 37-year-old.

David Baldwin took to social media site Instagram for the second time in two days to aim an online swipe at the Ibrox club, accusing them of disrespecting his frozen-out client after suggesting that they had implied it was Miller who had been the source of a dressing room leak following the defeat to Celtic.

The agent is upset that Rangers did not clarify the real reasons behind Miller’s exclusion from the first-team picture, leaving the situation open to interpretation, and he has criticised them for allowing the player’s innocence to be called into question.

The former Scotland forward has not been selected by Ibrox boss Pedro Caixinha since that game, and was even sent to play with the under-20s against Brentford while the first-team prepared to take on Hamilton.

Caixinha then insisted Miller was left out of Friday night’s win at St Johnstone because of a hamstring injury picked up in training, a claim that is also disputed by the player’s agent, although it is believed he will be in the Rangers squad for Sunday’s Betfred Cup semi-final against Motherwell at Hampden Park.

Baldwin has now said though that the actions of Rangers have even led to Miller and his family being targeted with abuse from angry fans, who have labelled him a ‘rat’ and a ‘traitor’ in the street.

With a number of Rangers supporters taking exception to his remarks overnight, Baldwin responded by posting another attack on the club’s handling of the situation.

“Just to clarify because some people are clearly missing the point,” he wrote. “I have absolutely no problem with a player being dropped for lack of form and football reasons, the manager picks the team and squad and always should. Absolutely no problem with that.

“The problem I have is when the player is the only player dropped the day after a big rant about the club having a dressing room ‘leak’ and then it is not clarified why he is being left out.

“It leaves it open to inferral and insinuation and endless newspaper stories and social media speculation that he was possibly or clearly the leak. When clearly he wasn’t.

“That then leads to his family getting dogs abuse about their loved one being a ‘rat’ and a ‘traitor.’ Which is unacceptable.

“It is not often a football club makes a claim that they have a leak in the dressing room so my very simple point was that the club should have quickly clarified that wasn’t why this particular player was being left out.

“Simple and would have saved a top professional’s reputation from getting trashed. Hopefully that clears it up.”
