Miller at the treble

20 November 2010 14:31
Kenny Miller claimed a hat-trick against 10-man Kilmarnock as Rangers fought back from behind to claim a 3-2 victory in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. The striker converted twice from the penalty spot before grabbing the winner, with Connor Sammon netting a brace for an impressive Killie side, who had Mohamadou Sissoko sent-off for conceding both spot-kicks. The breakthrough came after 21 minutes when Eremenko's chip found Liam Kelly at the back post and he cut back for Sammon to bundle home from close range. Rangers were back on level terms when referee Euan Norris pointed to the penalty spot after 41 minutes for a Sissoko trip on Miller, who converted. After 54 minutes, Sissoko fouled Lafferty and the Killie player picked up a second yellow card before Miller lashed high into the net from the spot once again to hand Rangers the advantage. The Ibrox side were left rueing that miss when Kilmarnock equalised after 59 minutes when Sammon was waiting at the back post to rifle home and claim a double but Rangers restored their lead just four minutes later when Miller had the net bulging again, this time from open play when he collected a Steven Whittaker cross in plenty of space and rifled past goalkeeper Cammy Bell.
