Miller: I'm At Rangers To Score

MILLER: I'M AT RANGERS TO SCORE Kenny Miller insists he did not seek assurances about the state of Rangers' finances before signing for the club for the third time. The former Scotland frontman sealed his latest return to Ibrox on Wednesday night after being released by MLS outfit Vancouver Whitecaps last month. But the 34-year-old - first signed for the club in 2000 by Dick Advocaat - has rejoined a vastly different Light Blues side than the one he last featured for in 2011. Since Miller quit to join Turkish outfit Bursaspor, the Glasgow giants have been liquidated and reformed in the bottom tier of the Scottish game. Having won back-to-back promotions, the 54-time Scottish champions are now just one league away from the top-flight as they prepare for the start of the Scottish championship campaign. But fans battling the unpopular ruling regime at Ibrox have boycotted season tickets, leaving fresh doubts over the club's long-term future. However, Miller, who also had stint with Cardiff before heading to Canada, said: "I don't know enough about (the things going on behind the scenes) to make any serious comment on it. "For me it was all about coming back to this club, pulling on that jersey again, scoring a lot of goals and getting us back to where we belong. "No, (I didn't seek any assurances about the health of the club) because there was only one thing on my mind and that was coming back here to play. "Anything else that happens along the way, I will deal with that when it comes. I just hope all the stuff off the field can sort itself out and me and the rest of the players can concentrate on the football side." When Miller departed last time, he left behind a squad containing proven internationals such as Nikica Jelavic, Steven Davis, Allan McGregor and Madjid Bougherra. Now the Ibrox side are reliant on ageing skipper Lee McCulloch and players like Nicky Law, Ian Black and Jon Daly who have been plucked from their former Scottish Premiership rivals. But Miller - who has also played for Gers' city rivals Celtic, Hibernian and Wolves during his 16-year career - denied he was rejoining a vastly different club. "For me as a player, the club is no different at all," he said. "I've been back the last two years during the MLS close season to train at Murray Park, so from that side of it, nothing has changed. "It's still a fantastic place to come and work and the atmosphere is always positive. "Obviously there has been a lot of changes behind the scenes but as players we can't affect that. All we can affect is what goes on out there on the pitch." Some Rangers fans have questioned the sense in signing a veteran striker when boss Ally McCoist should be looking to the longer-term as he attempts to build a squad capable of taking on reigning champions Celtic once they return to the Scottish Premiership. But Miller - who bowed out of international duty last August by netting against England in a 3-2 Wembley defeat - insists he can still cut it at the top. He said: "There's a few more years on the clock since I was here the last time. But I still fell fit, I still feel strong. "I can only play the game one way, I can't hold anything back. When I cross that white line, everyone will see that. "I was playing at the highest level only a matter of months ago against England at Wembley. I still feel the same. I still feel I can perform like I did when I came back here for the second time six years ago." Rangers have also been linked with a move for ex-Light Blues frontman Kris Boyd and Miller would be keen to reunite a partnership that produced 47 goals in season 2009/10. He said: "I've seen the press linking the big man with a move back and I'm sure if anyone at the club would be looking to do that, then Kris would be willing to come back. "He was a fantastic player for this club in the past and scored a hell of a lot of goals for us, so if it was to come about, I'm sure it would something everyone would be interested in."
