Ex-Rangers star Kenny Miller given green light to demolish Glasgow bungalow and build luxury pad

Former Rangers player Kenny Miller and his wife have been given the go-ahead to demolish a Glasgow bungalow and rebuild it into a luxury pad.

Miller, 44, and his wife Laura snapped up the property last year and are now set to turn it into an upmarket villa.

S2 Architecture in Bishopbriggs are working with the ex Scotland star to give their new home a makeover, Glasgow Live reports.

It will be partly demolished, extended and "significantly altered", after planning permission for the build has been approved.

S2 who have helped the couple design their new four-bedroomed home, has shared their vision on social media.

The firm said: "We received planning consent... to partly demolish, extend and significantly alter their new house (basically rebuild).

"S2 were tasked of viewing the property, explore its potential and based on our proposals and suggestions, our clients bought the house and we thereafter progressed for a planning submission.

"With consent now in place we are hopeful that construction works will start late summer."

Kenny, the former Old Firm striker who also played for Celtic, enjoyed three stints at Ibrox during his playing days, winning seven trophies. But after a short-lived first managerial job at Livingston and brief stints at Falkirk and Huddersfield, the ex-Scotland international has found it hard to find a way back into coaching.

He admitted that he'd jump at the chance to take on a role - whatever the level - at Rangers and believes he could add value to Philippe Clement's coaching staff, footballscotland reports.
