Miller made 11 appearances in the league for Boro between 2010 and 2011 before moving on to Carlisle United.

The 37-year-old has been co-manager of the Scottish club since December 2019 alongside retired defender David McCracken.

Miller has continued to play as well as manage, making six substitute appearances this season.

However, it has now been confirmed that the former Bristol City and Middlesbrough man has left the Scottish club.

Falkirk FC Chairman Gary Deans said: “It’s never easy having to ask people to leave the football club and this is no different.

“Both Lee and David, as well as Derek Jackson, have been good servants to this Club but we all must acknowledge that things have not worked out as envisaged. Recent performances and results have not been good enough and change is required.

"We thank all three for their contribution to Falkirk FC over a number of years and wish them well for the future.”
