Ex-Rangers footballer Kenny Miller’s Audi Q7 is targeted in arson attack outside family member’s flat

  • Footballer was staying at mother-in-law’s flat when attempted arson took place
  • Police are investigating after a flammable liquid was poured on his windscreen
  • Suspected arsonists were interrupted before they could set the Audi Q7 on fire 

Arsonists targeted the SUV of ex-Rangers star Kenny Miller while it was parked outside a property in Scotland.

The Audi Q7 was doused in a flammable liquid near a property in Hamilton where it is believed the former Scotland captain was visiting.

According to the Daily Record, the 42-year-old footballer was temporarily staying with his wife Laura, 33, at his mother-in-law’s home when the arson attempt took place on January 8.

The newspaper reports that an accelerant was poured on the windscreen of the £55,000 vehicle before the vandals were interrupted and they fled before they could set it alight. 

The incident is now being investigated by the police. 

A source told the Daily Record: ‘Kenny says he has no idea why this happened or what’s prompted it, the family are totally in the dark.

‘It’s shocking that this should happen to them.’

The newspaper reported that the couple, who have just had their third child, are staying with family before moving into a new home.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: ‘Around 12.05am on Saturday, January 8, officers were called after an attempt was made to set alight a vehicle in a car park in Hamilton.

‘It appears at this time the car was not damaged and no one injured.

‘Enquiries are continuing.’

Miller, who played 69 times for Scotland and scored 18 goals, was appointed as an assistant at Scottish League One side Falkirk last month.

The 42-year-old had a journeyed playing career on both sides of the border with spells at Rangers, Celtic, Hibs, Wolves and Derby County.

He was released from his final club, Partick Thistle, in January 2020 and announced his retirement from professional football soon after.
