ALLY McCOIST says he understands why Kenny Miller has chosen to pursue a new career in Turkey after Rangers confirmed tonight that they have agreed a fee in principle with Bursaspor for the striker.
Miller flew to Turkey this morning to tie up personal terms and will have a medical tomorrow having already been allocated the No18 shirt.
Rangers completed an agreement in principle with Bursaspor today but are awaiting paperwork before the transfer will be completed.
Miller scored 56 goals in 108 Rangers appearances and was undoubtedly a key player in the last two successful SPL campaigns and also won the Scottish Cup in 2009, adding the League Cup last season when his header beat St Mirren in an epic final.
McCoist told Blues News: "He made a wonderful contribution for the period that he was here. Kenny has been great for the club and equally the club has been great for Kenny. It's been a good partnership.
"If the deal does go through then he will go with our blessing and our thanks. Having said, that we are disappointed to see him go because he has been an integral part of the team over the past two and a half seasons.
"You can understand why he has made the decision has. All he was doing was exercising his right to look around, like any other player who is coming to the end of his contract."
