The 21-year-old striker impressed throughout a mortgage spell at Tynecastle within the second half of final season.
Simms has now returned to Goodison Park with Jambos gaffer Robbie Neilson eager to get him again subsequent time period.
However former Rangers front-man Miller believes Giovanni van Bronckhorst ought to take into account a transfer for the Englishman.
With the way forward for Ibrox star Alfredo Morelos unsure, he feels Simms may very well be a helpful addition to the squad.
The Mailsport columnist mentioned: “The one participant in Scotland I’d have a look at for Rangers is Simms.
“I actually just like the look of him. Once you see the difficulty Rangers had with strikers in direction of the tip of the season, it’s one thing I’d take into account.
“I’m certain the child may have a number of suitors down in England.
“However I’d be stunned if Everton bought him, until the cash was proper. It could most likely be one other mortgage transfer.
“Once you have a look at what he might convey and the way in which he performs, he is likely to be as near a Morelos as you’re going to get.
“He’s not Alfredo Morelos, let’s make that clear. He would have lots to show earlier than you place him in that bracket.
“However the physicality he’s acquired, the working energy and the standard of objectives he’s scored in that brief interval at Hearts - he’s somebody I believe may very well be attention-grabbing.
“On the age he’s at, taking part in in that Rangers workforce - I believe he might rating objectives.
“However lots will rely upon what occurs with Morelos this summer time.”
Miller expects arrivals and departures at Rangers this summer time with a number of of their prime stars, like Calvin Bassey, Joe Aribo and Ryan Kent, prone to appeal to curiosity.
Van Bronckhorst has already tied up Hearts centre-back John Souttar on a Bosman, with Connor Goldson prone to go away.
The one different Scot taking part in within the Premiership that he reckons might make a transfer to Ibrox is Aberdeen midfielder Lewis Ferguson.
However Miller admits the 22-year-old would discover it robust to interrupt into Gers’ engine room.
He mentioned: “It could take lots for Lewis to shift the midfielders already there.
“It could be a dream transfer for him however is he going to maneuver Ryan Jack, Glen Kamara, John Lundstram, Scott Arfield or Steven Davis? In the meanwhile, I’d most likely say no.
“However you enhance taking part in with higher gamers. And Lewis scores objectives from midfield.
“Even in a extremely poor season for Aberdeen, he was the one participant who stored a good stage of consistency.
“When it comes to gamers Rangers might go for in Scotland after Souttar - Simms and Ferguson would probably be the 2 for me as a result of they’re at a extremely good age.”
