Kenny Miller adds Turkey to list of Scots abroad
Former Rangers team-mate James Beattie may now find himself becoming a regular in Walter Smith's side in Miller's absence. He was first to wish his fellow-frontman well, saying: "Best of luck on the move abroad, Miller Man! Been a pleasure working with you. Sad to see you go, obviously, but I'm sure you'll be a huge success over there, too. All the best!"
Scotland pal Gary Caldwell posted: "Glad you got your move, mate! Enjoy the football over there."
