Ex-Liverpool coach: Wilson should’ve stayed at Rangers

(GSM) – Former Rangers ace Alex Miller believes Danny Wilson made a big mistake moving to Liverpool.

The 18-year-old defender completed his move to Anfield this week but Miller told the Scottish starlet he was better off at Ibrox.

Miller spent nine years at Anfield, as head of the scouting network under Gerard Houllier before becoming a first-team coach when Rafael Benitez arrived, and retains many contacts in Liverpool.

But he told the Sunday Herald: “I know the set-up at Liverpool and I know a lot of the players who are still at the club.

“Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger and Glen Johnson are strong, strong characters. They will not be pushed out of the side easily. Danny might feel that even training with them will bring him on a bit, but for me there is no greater learning curve than playing first-team games.

“He would have got that at Rangers this season and he would also have got good advice. Aside from Walter on the training ground, he would have had David Weir giving him all kinds of verbal coaching throughout games. That is invaluable.”

Miller also said: “My fear would be that without that he will stagnate. He certainly won’t be learning the way he would if he was playing week-in, week-out.”
