Miller: I had to earn fans' backing

Sun 31 May, 02:11 PM


Kenny Miller hopes he will finally be accepted by the fans after helping bring success back to Rangers.

The striker knows he was an unpopular signing when he returned to Ibrox last summer for a second spell at the club, having spent a year with bitter rivals Celtic. However, the jeers turned to cheers on Saturday when he helped Rangers clinch a domestic double by adding the Homecoming Scottish Cup to the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title.

Speaking of the moment when fans chanted his name, Miller admitted: "It means a lot. To come back to the club after where I played before was always going to be hard for me. But I think success was always going to bring different views."

Rangers claimed both the Scottish Cup and Co-operative Insurance Cup last season but Miller insists this year's domestic double is far more special.

"Of course it is," he said. "The league is the one you want to win.

"We would much rather have won the treble but we've got the double and the league and Scottish Cup is definitely the one you want to win.

"First and foremost, it was more important to win the league back and secure Champions League football."
