Kenny Miller says Rangers are already looking forward to Tuesday's Old Firm game and not in the mood to go easy after their early title glory.[LNB] A 1-0 win against Hibernian at Easter Road allowed Rangers to retain their crown with games to spare - against Dundee United on Saturday, Celtic in midweek and then a final home fixture against Motherwell.[LNB]There is little chance of them taking their foot of the pedal, however, particularly against their Old Firm rivals.[LNB]"It won't take a lot of motivation next Tuesday because it's an Old Firm game so we will be up for that," said Miller.[LNB]"The lads are already looking forward to it. They are huge games no matter what the situation is.[LNB]"An Old Firm game is an Old Firm game so you've got to battle and you've got to win the games.[LNB]"We've been fortunate this year that we've got two wins and a draw and it would be nice for us to get another win and finish off the season in a good way.[LNB]"We want to go there and get a good result and then finish with a good result in front of our own fans on the last day of the season on the day we are going to get the cup."[LNB]The outcome of Tuesday's clash at Parkhead could be a major factor in deciding whether Neil Lennon lands the Hoops job on a permanent basis.[LNB]"It's probably going to be the biggest game Lenny will have in charge," added Miller.[LNB]"It's his first Old Firm game and he has done fantastically well in the league so far. We will want to put a stop to that."[LNB]While Lennon would love to stay on at Celtic, Gers boss Walter Smith is said to be pondering his future at Ibrox after leading the club to back-to-back titles.[LNB]However, Dundee Unietd striker Danny Cadamarteri, who worked with Smith at Everton in the 1990s and faces his former manager on Sunday, believes he should stay on.[LNB]He said: "Walter Smith has shown over the years that he is a top, top manager who has enjoyed fantastic success in Scotland and has become a Rangers legend.[LNB]"He is an excellent coach who has also done the business in England. Walter is up there with the best I've worked with.[LNB]"He always creates tough teams to play against with some great players.[LNB]"He's the kind of manager players want to work with because he's got such a good reputation in the game.[LNB]"It would be a big loss to football if he decides to retire at the end of this season.[LNB]"We want to pit our wits against the best footballers in the country and if he was not at Ibrox you couldn't guarantee there would still be top players there."
