Miller insists Gers can upset the odds
The striker insists he is not even entertaining the prospect of settling for Europa League football after Christmas as a consolation prize.[LNB]The Scottish champions head into Tuesday's game against Stuttgart with just two points from their opening four matches but knowing a place in the last 16 is not out of reach just yet.[LNB]"The main aim since the start of the group has been to progress in the Champions League and it's still the same," said Miller.[LNB]"It's very much in our hands. If we can take care of our own results, I think it will be enough.[LNB]"When the group was drawn, we looked upon it as definite qualification for us and making the last 16 at least."[LNB]Miller was on the scoresheet for the first time since early October as Rangers cruised to a 3-0 win over Kilmarnock at the weekend and he says confidence is high ahead of the visit of the Germans.[LNB]"It was a great result for us," he said.[LNB]"We couldn't have asked for a better result going into this game.[LNB]"It's a must-win game for us so it was great to get the three goals and a decent performance on Saturday.[LNB]"We know if we don't win, we have no chance of qualification."[LNB]Boss Walter Smith usually favours Miller in a lone striker role in European matches but the must-win nature of this match means he could be tempted to opt for a two-pronged attack instead.[LNB]Miller would welcome the prospect of playing alongside Kris Boyd in the Champions League and hopefully producing the form they have shown alongside each other in the SPL.[LNB]Miller said: "As long as I'm alongside him, yes, I would like to see him up there.[LNB]"The manager picks the team for each game, he picks a team to win the game and I would never argue with him or second-guess him.[LNB]"He gets it right more often than not.[LNB]"If Boydy plays, great. We know what he brings to the team.[LNB]"He brings goals, he brings a goal threat, and that's something we'll need tomorrow night."[LNB]Boyd's only start in the Champions League was in a qualifying match against Zeta back in July 2007 and he has never hidden his desire to play a bigger role on the continental stage.[LNB]Miller added: "He wants to play in games, he wants to play in big games and it doesn't come any bigger in club football than the Champions League.[LNB]"For him to miss out so often, I'm sure is disappointing for him.[LNB]"I wouldn't say it's something he gets used to but it's maybe something he has come to live with."[LNB][LNB] Rangers v VfB Stuttgart To Score in 90mins: Miller, K. 5/2
