Kenny Miller could be set for a return to football as a coach at Huddersfield Town, according to a report.
The former Celtic and Rangers striker had a short spell in charge at Livingston and has also coached at the likes of Newcastle Jets and Western Sydney Wanderers in Australia's A-League and he also spent some time in Scottish League One with Falkirk. He went into the Bairns as Assistant Head Coach and had a short-spell in interim charge after Martin Rennie's exit.
Now the Daily Record report that he could be set for a role in the English Championship with boss Mark Fotheringham looking to add the former Scotland striker to his set up. They currently sit bottom of England's second tier - four points from safety after 20 games. Ex-Celtic man Fotheringham was appointed back in September on a deal until 2025.

At the time of his appointment, Head of Football Leigh Bromby commented: “We have explored a wide range of options in our search for our next Head Coach, and Mark became our first choice after our very first meeting. His beliefs in coaching and football fit very well with our methods at the Club, and we also believe he can also add to what we do because of who he has worked for and with during his career so far.
“Mark has worked at some top clubs with some of the best coaches around. His most recent spell came last season at a big city side in Hertha Berlin under a manager who has been right at the top of the game for many successful years in Felix Magath. Before that, he worked under Michael Henke at Ingolstadt – a man who has won the Champions League twice as a coach.
"That adds to his other experience across the UK and Europe that he’s accumulated as a coach and a player since the age of 16. He believes in an aggressive, intense, front-foot style of play, just as we do. That was vitally important.
“The ability to lead and motivate our squad and staff was also high on the requirements for this appointment, and they are qualities that Mark exudes naturally. You feel it when you meet him, and that is backed up by the testimony of many big names in football who he’s worked with, both alongside him as a coach and as a player under him.
“I know that Huddersfield Town fans will get right behind Mark, the coaching staff, and the players as we work together to drive us up the Sky Bet Championship table.”
