“Exclusive: Dad Lee Regularly Runs Through Key Scenarios with Lennon Miller, and It’s Good News for Motherwell Amid £4m Transfer Race with Celtic & Rangers!”
“Celtic & Rangers Told £4m Fee Won’t Be Enough for Lennon Miller as Father Lee Drops Major Hint on Future Amid Motherwell’s Rising Star Status”
Celtic and Rangers are reportedly being told to pay £4 million to secure the signature of 18-year-old Lennon Miller from Motherwell. However, the Glasgow giants may already have an inkling of where the young talent’s future lies, as his father, Lee, has given a significant clue. Miller has been impressing consistently under manager Stuart Kettlewell, even captaining the side at Hampden in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final, marking a major vote of confidence in the youngster’s abilities. As the race for his signature heats up, all eyes are on the Steelmen starlet’s next move.
Reports indicate that both Celtic and Rangers are eyeing a potential move for Motherwell’s standout 18-year-old talent, Lennon Miller. However, the Steelmen are reportedly determined to break their record transfer fee if the youngster leaves the club in the January window. Motherwell’s previous record sale stands at £3 million, which they received from Celtic for David Turnbull in 2020. Now, it seems they could surpass that figure with Miller, who remains under contract until 2026.
Miller’s father, Lee, who enjoyed a successful career with clubs like Aberdeen, Hearts, and Middlesbrough, has offered insight into his son’s mindset. Speaking to PLZ Soccer in September, Lee revealed that the family has always focused on ensuring Lennon is in the right environment to develop, rather than rush a move to one of the Old Firm clubs. He explained, “There has always been talk of Rangers and Celtic being in for Lennon since he was 10 or 11 years old. We have always maintained ‘look, you are in the right place, you are thriving’ – and I think playing with a smile on your face and having people you trust and enjoy playing football with is really important.”
This stance has shown that Miller’s development at Motherwell is his priority, and while interest from Celtic and Rangers is certainly flattering, it seems the 18-year-old is taking a patient and measured approach to his career. With a contract running until 2026 and reports of a £4 million asking price, Miller’s future remains a topic of speculation, but his focus remains on his current growth.
Lennon Miller’s father, Lee, has been vocal about his son’s current priorities, highlighting that first-team football is paramount to the young talent’s development at this stage of his career. Speaking on his son’s ambitions, Lee stated, “He’s not interested in going anywhere else right now in terms of he wants to rack up as many games as possible. Yeah, that time will probably come, and he wants to play at the highest level, Lennon. But right now, his focus is on gaining as much experience as he can.”
Lee also emphasized the importance of balance and thoughtful decision-making in Lennon’s career progression. “I go through different scenarios with him all the time. ‘Think if this happened, this could happen’ in different situations,” he explained. “He’s got ambition, he’s got massive ambition, he wants to be a Scottish international, play at the highest level. The way he’s going just now, he will do that, but there’s no rush for that, and he understands that as well.”
This measured approach demonstrates that, while Miller has the talent and drive to make it at the top level, he is committed to ensuring his development at the right pace, prioritizing first-team football over immediate moves to bigger clubs like Celtic or Rangers. His ambition to play at the highest level remains, but for now, the 18-year-old is focused on his growth at Motherwell.
