ian1964 10,415 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/scottish/scottish_news/74130/Acid-attack-on-Gers-stars-car-Kenny-Miller-Rangers.html RANGERS striker Kenny Miller was left fizzing after his Ã?£132,000 motor was trashed by mindless vandals. Thugs drenched the Ibrox starââ?¬â?¢s Bentley Continental GTC with battery acid, leaving the carââ?¬â?¢s expensive paintwork ruined. Kenny, 28, bought the 6-litre supercar just FIVE MONTHS ago but woke up yesterday to find it had been attacked overnight. He now faces a hefty repair bill of up to Ã?£30,000. And one of the starââ?¬â?¢s pals admitted: ââ?¬Å?Kennyââ?¬â?¢s pretty gutted right now. That car was his pride and joy.ââ?¬Â The car had been parked outside the playerââ?¬â?¢s home in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow, when the yobs struck. Itââ?¬â?¢s thought the 195mph convertible will need a full respray to repair damage to the bonnet and driverââ?¬â?¢s side. Our source added: ââ?¬Å?The car was tucked away behind a wall and a gate so it looks like whoever did it knew exactly where to find it. But it looks like thereââ?¬â?¢s been more than one person involved ââ?¬â? theyââ?¬â?¢ve lobbed acid from every angle to make sure they didnââ?¬â?¢t miss. ââ?¬Å?After he discovered what had happened, Kenny drove it straight to the garage which is just a few miles from his house. ââ?¬Å?The paint was still peeling it off as he drove. He had to get a lift to the game yesterday.ââ?¬Â The damage to his beloved motor seemed to be on the Ã?£2million aceââ?¬â?¢s mind once he got to Ibrox. Fans saw him miss a sitter during his sideââ?¬â?¢s 2-1 clash with St Mirren before ballooning a pass and hitting the bar in the 73rd minute. His Bentley ââ?¬â? which does 0-60 in just 4.8 seconds ââ?¬â? isnââ?¬â?¢t the first car belonging to a Rangers player to get trashed. Last month vandals wrecked two cars owned by goalie Allan McGregor. Vile sectarian slogans were etched into McGregorââ?¬â?¢s Bentley Continental GT and a Range Rover Sport. The Ã?£60,000 Range Rover, which was a present for McGregorââ?¬â?¢s fiancÃ?©e Leah Shevlin, had the words ââ?¬Å?cowââ?¬Â and ââ?¬Å?IRAââ?¬Â scraped along its side. The silver Bentley had ââ?¬Å?Holly Goalyââ?¬Â scratched on its bonnet in a badly-spelt reference to Celtic keeper Artur Boruc. In March McGregor, 26, was left raging when thugs poured acid on the Bentley. It cost Ã?£10,000 to have the vehicle repaired following that incident. Last night our source added: ââ?¬Å?Kennyââ?¬â?¢s not been given an exact price for the repair bill yet ââ?¬â? but he knows itââ?¬â?¢s not going to come cheap. ââ?¬Å?The car was a complete and utter mess. Itââ?¬â?¢s sickening to think they put so much effort into it. ââ?¬Å?Itââ?¬â?¢s undoubtedly been a premeditated attack.ââ?¬Â 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Wonder how many bottles of buckey KM & his mates can fit in the boot of a Bentley? Must be a right few hundred. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Why no mention of Celtic fans and sectarian attack Doesn't seem to be any evidence they were Celtc [sic] fans as yet and there is nothing to suggest it had sectarian motivation... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't stop the press chucking about "Rangers fans" and "sectarian" if the shoe was on the other foot. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barr 0 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I hardly think it was Hibs fans. They are too sensible to get involved in such pathetic childish behaviour. It all points towards another idiotic move from the knuckle-dragging element of Celtic's moronic movement. Has it not already happened to a few other players? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looks like Celtic supporters but lets be honest there are also so called Rangers supporters who would possibly do that to KM. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Chances are that it WAS Celtic fans, but it's worth noting that with all the other attacks on Rangers players cars or property it would be possible for absolutely anyone to do such a thing expecting it to be instantly blamed on the Mopes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 There's no doubt it would be Celtic fans. Miller is just the latest to have his property and person threatened and/or abused. Sure, plenty Rangers fans don't like Miller but none of them would vent that dislike in this manner. We've not even done that with any Celtic players. Never mind one of our own. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
