dailyrecord.co.uk:

Lennon Miller might have become Scottish football’s hottest young property in the last 12 months. But James McFadden reckons the Motherwell prodigy has been a stand out for the last 12 YEARS.Fir Park icon Faddy has watched the midfielder’s progress up close ever since he first started kicking a ball at Fun 4s - up against his own boy James junior from the age of six.

And the former Scotland hero hasn’t been surprised in the slightest to see the 18-year-old make the transition to Premiership football look like child’s play.McFadden reckons Miller is good enough to follow the Scottish talent trail abroad and showcase his talents in one of Europe’s big leagues like Lewis Ferguson and Aaron Hickey did before him.

He only hopes the Steelmen starlet - whose maturity beyond his years has seen him handed the Fir Park captaincy - sticks around in Lanarkshire until at least the end of the season.Miller will line up for Scotland’s U19s as they open their Euro qualifying campaign in Wales this afternoon.

And former Tartan Army favourite McFadden said: “I’ve seen Lennon play since he was a young boy. He’s played against my boy at Fun 4s!“And they’ve been in the same team together in the Motherwell academy.
