Super Cooper 0 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Miller and Boyd are the best strikers in Scotland just now. Griffiths and Stokes for me all day long. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 His best days seem to be behind him too. Still a significantly better ratio than Miller though 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,415 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 WILLIE JOHNSTON was delighted to hear the news that Kenny Miller has joined Rangers for a third time and he expects him to be a big hit once again with the Ibrox faithful. 1972 Cup Winners’ Cup legend Bud is a big fan of Miller’s having followed his career for a long time and he believes the former Scotland striker, who made 69 appearances and scored 18 goals for his country, will give the League One champions a massive lift both on and off the pitch. Miller, of course, is a proven goalscorer having already hit 67 goals in 147 appearances for Rangers during his two previous spells at the club. Johnston, however, believes his vast experience, knowledge and attitude towards the game will also be hugely beneficial for the Light Blues as they look to get back to Scottish football’s top flight at the first attempt. Miller has spent the last two years in the MLS with the Vancouver Whitecaps and Willie, who also played for the Canadian club at the tail end of his career, insists the returning Gers hero will be in great shape for the start of the new campaign. He said: “Kenny will be a very, very big asset. Having him in the Championship will be terrific for Rangers because he’s a great pro. “He’ll be a great signing for the club because the young players will look up to him because of what he has achieved in the game and he will help them. They’ll love him being back here because they can learn so much from him. “People will mention his age but 34 is not bad and you’ll get at least two more good seasons out of him yet. “Only last year we saw him score against England at Wembley and the MLS is a tough league to play in. I played out there with Vancouver and it’s hard, Kenny’s fitness will not be a problem. “He’s looked after himself all his life, he has a great attitude and it will be great to see him back as a Rangers player again.” http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/7007-a-great-signing-for-gers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Good thing for them they play football with their feet then eh. Your feet only get you so far... To play at the very top (the top being an international striker with over 60 caps) you need a footballing brain, tell me how many caps do they have? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,415 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Miller can help Rangers return to top level KENNY MILLER has the ability, experience and fitness needed to help lead Rangers back into the top flight of Scottish football next season. That was the confident prediction from his former coach today after the hitman signed with the Ibrox club for the third time in his career. The former Scotland striker agreed a one-year deal, with the option of another year, after passing a medical at Auchenhowie yesterday. He was a free agent after negotiating a release from MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps last month and will not command excessive wages. Indeed, the 34-year-old will be on less money than the likes of Sebastien Faure at the SPFL League One champions. However, the signing of the 69-times capped star, the sixth top scorer in Scotland history, has not gone down well with many Gers supporters due to his advancing years. The departure to Dundee United of Charlie Telfer - who has gone from being a virtual unknown to the most exciting teenage prospect since Pele in the space of a few days this week - has not been well received. And the capture of Miller by Rangers manager Ally McCoist is not seen by many fans as being particularly forward-thinking. But Vancouver Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson, the former Wales international, believes Miller will be a shrewd acquisition for his boyhood heroes. Robinson said: "We are going to miss Kenny at Vancouver. He is a fantastic professional both on and off the field and he has fantastic leadership qualities. "That is the main thing he brought to my team, leadership. "He was very helpful to all of my young players and I am sure he will be the same with the young players at Rangers. "On top of that, he is still a top player. He has looked after himself very well throughout his career and still performs to a very high level whenever he takes to the field. "He is a great professional. He has played for a lot of big clubs in his career and has played at international level for a long time - and you can see why when he plays." Former Wolves, Sunderland and Portsmouth midfielder Robinson added: "Kenny wanted to return to Scotland for his family and I can understand that. Family is obviously very important to people. He certainly left with our best wishes. "He brought a lot to the table when he played with us and I am sure the same will be true with Rangers in the future. "They are getting a great player and a true leader." McCoist agreed with his Vancouver counterpart and predicted Miller would have a positive influence on youngsters such as Fraser Aird, Calum Gallagher and Lewis Macleod. Speaking to the official Rangers website, he said: "Kenny brings experience and pace to our forward line and I am sure he will be a great help to our younger players. "He is a top-class footballer and we look forward to seeing him in a Rangers jersey once again next season when we will be trying to win promotion from the Championship. "Kenny was a fantastic player for us before, particularly in his second spell when we won many trophies, and I am sure he will be again." http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/rangers/miller-can-help-rangers-return-to-top-level-166161n.24408010 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffiths has already scored more in one season than Miller ever did. Playing regularly for Scotland is not the very top 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
