Former Hibs’ manager Alex Miller has returned to St Mirren to help boss Ian Murray.
Miller was in charge at Easter Road from 1986 – 1996 having taken over from John Blackley. He led the team to the 1991 Skol League Cup win over Dunfermline before eventually being replaced by Jim Duffy.
After leaving Hibs, Miller had a spell in charge of Aberdeen before working for Premier League side Liverpool for nine years assisting both Gerard Houllier and Rafael Benitez and was with the club when they won the Champions’ League, beating AC Milan on penalties in 2005.
Yesterday he told the club website: I agreed to come and help St Mirren as they gave me my first opportunity to manage in the Premier League, also to assist Ian Murray who is a young manager making his way in the game.”
Former Hibs’ skipper Murray said: “I am very happy to have someone of Alex’ experience beside me and this will give myself and the squad a huge lift.”
Miller is expected to meet the players at training this morning.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
