Kenny Miller insists he is not worried about the reaction he will face in this weekend’s Old Firm derby when he returns to Celtic Park for the first time since rejoining Rangers.

And the striker even hopes Sunday’s clash could be the game that finally wins over the section of Rangers fans who are still unhappy about his summer switch to Ibrox.

Having already played for both halves of the Old Firm before his return, Miller was always expecting a hostile reaction from Rangers supporters unhappy about his recent spell at Celtic. The negative response he has endured so far will be nothing compared to the reception he can expect to receive at Celtic Park but Miller is determined to take the match in his stride.

“The Old Firm games are the big fixtures of the season and I was happy to see it come so early,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the game and hopefully I get the nod to play up front in it.

“I’m definitely looking forward to it – there is no fear whatsoever. As a Rangers player, you always look to the Old Firm games. Those are the games you want to win, you want to play a part in and, as a forward, it’s a dream to score in them. It’s the game the fans look to so if I’m playing a part and it’s a positive result for us, I’m sure they will look on it positively.

“Hopefully, I can go out and change a few minds on the day. I don’t think they have been bad at all. There is obviously a special set of circumstances coming back here and I always knew there would be a few opposing it, which is to be expected. But the majority have been fantastic and the little but of negative reaction hasn’t hindered my performances.”

Miller marked his Old Firm debut for Celtic with a goal against Rangers and would love to do the same this weekend but insists his lack of goals so far this season is not weighing heavy on his mind.

“Obviously, you want to score as early as possible,” he said. “But I don’t feel the pressure at all. If the team is winning, that’s all I care about. I don’t care if I score or someone else scores. I want to play a part in contributing to a successful team.”

Walter Smith, the manager, knew bringing Miller back to Rangers would be regarded as a controversial move but has no worries about the clash with Celtic fazing the player.

“I don’t think it will,” he said. “I’m sure there will be the usual banter between fans but it’s not something that’s going to affect him. He is an experienced enough player to handle it.” (PA)
