FOOTBALLMILLER CAN FOLLOW MO GLORY ROAD
McCOIST: Praised Miller Tuesday September 2,2008 By Jim McLeanALLY McCOIST is certain Kenny Miller’s glory double at Parkhead will unite Rangers fans behind him – just as Mo Johnston did almost 20 years ago. The Scotland hitman has been given a rough ride by Light Blues supporters since his return to Ibrox after a spell at Celtic.
The same problem faced Johnston when he crossed the Glasgow divide in 1989, but he went from villain to hero by hitting a last-minute winner against the Hoops in his first Old Firm derby for his new team.
There were smiles all round yesterday at Murray Park, and assistant boss McCoist paid tribute to Miller’s professionalism.
McCoist said: “It was brilliant for Kenny. For him to go to Parkhead and score two goals must have been beyond his wildest dreams.
“He even had a wee chance to make it a hat-trick in the last minute.
“It brings back memories of Mo Johnston nearly 20 years ago. I can remember him scoring against Celtic at Ibrox as if it was yesterday.
“Mo hit it down low to the keeper’s right side on 88 minutes at the Rangers end.
“The thing about Mo and Kenny is that they are both terrific players and good team players.
“And when you work as hard as they do then you are always going to win the fans over.”
