Rangers goalscorer Miller delighted to gain fans acceptance

Kenny Miller was thrilled when he heard the fans sing his name after his winner earned nine-man Rangers a 1-0 win over St Mirren in the Co-operative Insurance Cup final.

The former Celtic player returned from Derby for a second spell at Rangers in the summer of 2008 and due to his time at Parkhead he was castigated by Light Blues supporters for months afterwards.

However, his rehabilitation in the eyes of those fans appeared to be complete after he headed home.

Miller smiled: "It was probably one of the first times I heard them sing my name since I came back.

"It gave me goosebumps to be honest and it confirmed that I have maybe been accepted.

"I am over the moon.

"It is great for me to get the goal but it is more important that we won the game.

"It was tough when we went down to nine men and you might feel that it is not going to be your day but there is a determination here.

"We didn't want to get beat.

"We were all trying to run forward to get a goal and then run back to defend.

"Fortunately enough we managed to get the break at the end."
